A túlzott vízhasználat eredményeként kiszáradó patakok problémájára talált Rob Harmon egy zseniális megoldást: Egy piaci mechanizmust amelynek hatására a víz a patakokban marad. Földművesek és  sörfőzdék sorsa fonódik össze a Prickly Pear Patak évszázados történetében.

Rob Harmon: Hogyan tarthatja a piac a vizet a patakban

Across the United States, tens of thousands of miles of streams have run dry, leaving ecosystems and local communities at risk. In Montana alone, some creeks hold claims for up to 100 times more water than they actually contain, trapping farmers in a system that rewards use over conservation. By linking businesses eager to offset their water footprint—like brewers—with farmers holding senior water rights, a market solution emerged. This approach has already restored more than four billion gallons of water to struggling rivers and streams.
