The Business Case for Investing in Water in Oregon
Beginning with Indigenous cultures since time immemorial, Oregon’s land, people and environment have always been deeply connected to water. The objective of this report is to highlight the critical value of water to Oregon, and clearly articulate the case for making and sustaining investments to protect and manage Oregon’s water assets — to make the business case for investing in water in Oregon.
Applying a business case perspective provides an objective approach for assessing the beneficial returns that potential water investments might generate, and how those benefits are likely to be distributed across Oregon’s people, regions, economic sectors and ecosystems. At its core, a business case is about considering risks, opportunities and benefits to make an informed decision about the wisdom of investment(s).
