James Eklund returns as a guest to The Water Values Podcast and discusses alternative transfer methods (ATMs) in this episode, which is a topic requested by a DU law student (sorry it took me so long to get to this topic). James does a great job of explaining ATMs, their uses, variants and issues surrounding them. Take a listen for a great primer and deep dive on ATMs!
In this session, you’ll learn about:
- What an ATM is
- What “buy and dry” is
- How ATMs started
- The problems that ATMs attempt to address
- How much water can be “saved” using ATMs
- The difference between water conservation and water efficiency
- Creative uses of ATMs
