Priming the Invisible Pump
Terry L. Anderson and Pamela S. Snyder
Since Water Crisis: Ending the Policy Drought was first published in 1983, water markets have
been transformed from the theoretical to the practical. Today, water marketing is being used to improve
both water allocation and water quality.
This book details the enormous number of advances in water markets that have occurred in the past decade. It especially emphasizes the use of water markets for instream flows, ground water, and pollution. It also discusses the use of water markets in an international context.

Founded 30 years ago in Bozeman, Montana, PERC—the Property and Environment Research Center—is the nation’s oldest and largest institute dedicated to improving environmental quality through property rights and markets.
PERC’s publications, each designed to resonate with specific groups, move ideas generated at PERC to broader audiences.
Research is at the heart of PERC's work, with a focus on the question: What is the link between economic growth and environmental quality?
The goal of PERC’s programs is to fully realize the vision of establishing “PERC University,” where scholars, students, policy makers, and others convene to expand the applications of free market environmentalism.
PERC's fellowships share a common goal of exposing new scholars, students, journalists, and policy makers to free market environmentalism, as well as enable scholars already familiar with FME to explore new applications.
PERC continues to publish and present a broad range of research and discussion through podcasts, videos, and other multimedia channels.
