Issue No. 1, 1996- Park City Principles Page 1 of1 The Park City Principles: A New Paradigm for Managing Western Water ~ ¢W#! In May 1991, the Western Governors' Association (WGA) and Western States Water Council (WSWC) organized the first in a series of three workshops, held in Park City, Utah, to address changing needs in water management in the West. Attendees included a broad, representative mix of water managers (federal, state, Indian, local and private), water interest groups, and academics. The outcome of this effort was agreement on a set of six principles which should be considered in western water resources management and policy development. These have come to be known as the "Park City Principles" among the water resources community. Following the three Park City workshops, the WGA at their June 23, 1992 conference passed a resolution endorsing the Park City Principles, and issued a document entitled Pioneering New Solutions: Directing our Destiny. This report contained several recommendations, one of which asked cooperation with the university- based water research institutes to analyze federal statutes and clarify public interest requirements as they related to the Park City Principles. This resolution lead to a Powell Consortium project which examined selected federal statutes, regulations, and court decisions that impact the ability of non-federal entities (state and local government, interstate organizations, etc.) to manage water resources and resolve water conflicts involving competing interests.
