Conjunctive management of surface and ground -water resources on state and
local levels is a relatively new political phenomenon. This type of management has
evolved, in part, in response to growing populations with ever -increasing, and often
conflicting, water demands. In addition, a more sophisticated technical understanding
of the physical link between groundwater and surface waters has led water managers to
reconsider historical strategies for solving water supply problems. In light of growing
demand and improved technology, some western states have begun the transition from
crisis- oriented water management to one of long -term planning for population growth
and environmental protection. This planning process requires that the constituents of a
region define their water use goals and objectives so that various approaches to
conjunctive management may be evaluated for their suitability to that particular
physical and socio- political environment.
