Abstract: To complete the Indian Water Rights Settlements: Economic Analysis project, The Secretary's Indian Water Rights Office (SIWRO) will conduct case studies on the economic outcomes associated with individual Indian water rights settlements (IWRS). The data requirements for these case studies will inform our understanding of whether each component of the settlement was in fact delivered, and the timing and detail of the final action (e.g., was the infrastructure put in place and is it functioning as expected). Understanding settlement outcomes will require targeted interviews with informed entities representative of the tribal communities and other beneficiaries. These interviews will focus on the physical, demographic, and socioeconomic changes that the settlement has produced.
