Interbasin water transfers have the potential to severely impact “source” and “receiving” water basins. Socio-economic impacts on source basin communities, in-stream effects on fish and wildlife, and water and air quality degradation are all potential impacts of transfers. California water rights laws and environmental statutes guide the transfers to minimise and mitigate these impacts. The Imperial Irrigation District to San Diego County Water Authority transfer is an example of the application of the law to resolve conflicts. As water shortages occur due to population growth and climate change, and as the private water markets expand, these laws are critical to protect public resources.

This article investigates the relation between water scarcity and water management. There are many different perceptions of water scarcity, which can include the conditions of arid environments, a general lack of access to water, insufficient water at a basin scale, or difficulty in meeting competing needs. All these issues will intensify with greater consumption and climate change. Asit Biswas reminds us that the root cause of scarcity is the way water is managed. Following this wisdom, I examine different contexts of scarcity I have encountered in my work and reflect on the management challenges which drive and transform water scarcity.
