Cadiz Inc. retained Stratecon Inc. to provide an independent economic valuation of the
water supply and related benefits of the Cadiz Valley Water Conservation, Recovery & Storage
Project (“Cadiz Project”) to project participants and to the public generally in urban Southern
California. An initial draft of this report was prepared and commentary was solicited from water
professionals and economists. After reviewing the comments, Stratecon revised and finalized
this report.
The valuation reflects analysis of four significant water supply benefits offered by the
Cadiz Project:
- Reliable water supply
- New Groundwater Storage
- Avoided Water Quality Damage
- New Intentionally Created Storage Credits
