Background on risk categories - RISK MODEL • Watershed –sustainability and quality of water resources for the region. • Supply Reliability – region’s institutional capacity to provide water to the industrial, agricultural, and domestic users. • Efficiency – ability to sufficiently maximize the available water resources in meeting the needs of all users. • Supply Economics – direct costs of water, including municipal water cost, fees, taxes, treatment, penalties, and related loss of production/revenue. Trends in water pricing are noted where readily identifiable. • Compliance –compliance with Company and external standards and regulations are analyzed. Trends in water regulation and key legislation are noted where readily available. • Social/Competitive – awareness of and conflict regarding water issues in a specified region, including the likelihood of targeted TCCC activity.
