Technical Service Center
Economics and Resource Planning Team
Economic and Financial Analyses
Our economists perform a wide range of water-resource-related analyses, primarily concerning:
- Economic justification (Do the monetary benefits of a proposed action exceed the costs?)
- Economic impacts (How does a proposed action impact an area's economic base?)
- Financial feasibility (How should costs be allocated among beneficiaries and how should repayment be accomplished?)
We use our economic expertise to:
- Conduct water-related economic and financial analyses
- Review economic and financial studies to ensure technical adequacy and conformance with Reclamation policy
- Provide training, advice and guidance on economic and financial technical issues
- Present findings of investigations to technical experts, water users, and other stakeholders
- Perform applied research to solve "real world" problems
Our services for Reclamation and other governmental agencies include:
