Why subscribe?
Water Strategist is the premiere source for in-depth analysis of water policy. We publish articles on the economics, law, finance, and policy of water resources in the Colorado River Basin, Texas, and the Pacific Northwest on an ongoing basis. Expect to see new content every week.
For 20 years WS guided decision makers on the significance of water marketing, economics, finance, legislation, litigation, and policy for the allocation of water resources in the west. As technology advanced, it became increasingly difficult to protect our intellectual property online—so in 2010, Stratecon made the strategic decision to stop publishing WS and offer its expertise solely through its advisory and proprietary research services.
Now, with the lessons learned during a 15-year hiatus, Water Strategist is back!
Free Subscribers—Because Water Strategist is the revival of our previous paid-subscription-based journal, content for free subscribers is limited. You will have access to a roundup post highlighting everything we published that quarter and occasional overviews of forthcoming articles. For great free content, consider subscribing to our other publication, Hydrowonk Blog.
Paid Subscribers—Paid subscribers get access to our current content, including Feature Articles, as well as updates in all our major coverage categories:
Economic Update
Legislation Update
Litigation Update
Policy Update
Water Market Update
Articles will be published and sent out as they are produced, and once each quarter, we will send out a roundup of everything we published in the quarter.
We have special offers available for groups and association members. Groups of two or more in the same organization can get their discount going to the “Group” tab on the subscription page. To get the special offer for association members, simply subscribe using the link provided through your water association or contact us for details. (Offers cannot be combined).
Premium Members—In addition to current content, premium subscribers get a one-hour consultation with Rodney T. Smith, President of Stratecon Inc. and access to our historical content. The historical content posted here on Substack currently includes articles from Journal of Water, but we are adding more content every day, and soon it will include content from the original Water Strategist and its companion publication, Water Intelligence Monthly.
