The Association has made available on its website the rest of the proceedings from the conference, for a limited time, and they are recommended.

- Considerations for Agriculture to Urban Water Transfers
The Report of the Water Transfer Guidelines Committee of the Arkansas Basin Roundtable was submitted to the Basin Roundable in September of 2008, and adoption was proposed for the October meeting. It is the product of the whole committee over two years of discussion, often for one and a half days a month. It is posted here to provide access, because it is a substantial piece of work which advances thinking about water transfer impacts and mitigation. - "Who Wants to Know What and When?
