Interstate river compacts are widely used to allocate water among riparian states. Twenty-one compacts are currently in force in the western United States, and these compacts are mostly of two types: those that allocate a fixed amount or flow of water to individual states; and those that allocate percentages of available water to the riparian states. This study compares the performance of the two resulting allocations with that resulting from basin-wide optimization without compact constraints. While widely varying hydrologic and economic characteristics of river basins create a large set of possible outcomes, a range of stylized case studies indicates that percentage compacts are likely to generate greater net benefits and to result in more equitable risk-sharing than fixed compacts under many circumstances. In light of recent compact negotiations in the southeastern United States, it is recommended that efficiency analyses under present and future conditions be made a part of all compact negotiations.

"In this volume are collected all of the interstate compacts presently in force among States of the American Union which apportion or govern the consumptive use of the waters of interstate streams, which have to do with the prevenion or amelioration of pollution of such waters, or which deal with the control of floods and problems associated therewith. This volume also includes, either by reference or in full text, all those like compacts which, though ratified by at least one State, did not come into force because of the failure of ratification by another party or because the consent of the Congress was not given. In addition, there are collected in it the treaties between the United States and Canada or Mexico and the decisions of the United States Supreme Court in interstate litigation which cover the three subjects outlined above."--Page iii.
