| dc.description.abstract | In many places around the U.S. West, water is overallocated, harming not only water quality and native fish but also communities that make a living from river recreation and tourism. In Montana, where irrigation withdrawals leave nearly 3,000 miles of trout streams chronically dewatered, a new type of water deal gave the state’s biggest brewery, also a big water user, a way to put millions of gallons of water back into a long-dry creek to restore native fish while compensating landowners for water they were able to forgo. The deal was sealed by two non-profit organizations and a new kind of entrepreneur: an “eco-asset broker.” | en_US |
