- Promote regenerative agriculture, permaculture, organic farming, water-wise irrigation, hugelkultur;
- Promote various options for what may be the most beneficial uses of water for areas experiencing water crises;
- Identify what we can reasonably expect our water to do for the public and what is unreasonable to expect of our water resources. Understand that this is a fluid and dynamic factor that changes over time and across geography;
- Engage the public, their agencies, and their committees and commissions on conservation best practices;
- Permit water rights to go unused for a longer period of time than five years without risk of cancellation – consider non-use as a way of resupplying groundwater and instream uses that result, by default, as a beneficial use;
- Work with municipalities on their stormwater management planning and infrastructure to protect and restore water quality and quantity, including reusing stormwater where appropriate and feasible;
- Acknowledge the law that Beneficial Use is the basis, the measure and the limit of all rights to the use of water in the state, and set within that legal standard the provision, Prior Appropriation, as the next-level decision for how water use shall be permitted.
