Previous theoretical and simulation studies predict that a tradable groundwater pumping rights system can generate positive societal impacts including both economic and environmental benefits. Completion of the proposed activities under the I-Corps program may help to develop an understanding of how to translate theoretical results and analyses into a viable market system. In particular, improved understanding of customer and stakeholder concerns and needs should ultimately lead to improved risk management systems that increase profits for all market participants. Conflict over water resource management is increasing, with large amounts of money being spent on litigation, as well as reduced agricultural productivity for farmers that are constrained as a result of regulations. Successful translation of project activities into public use may provide new risk management tools for farmers, reduce the costs of water reallocation, and lead to an increase in agricultural productivity and profits while maintaining or improving environmental conditions and resource sustainability. Successful completion of activities has the potential to increase understanding of how commercially viable market-based resource allocation systems should be designed and implemented.

先前的理论和模拟研究预测，可交易的地下水抽水权制度可以产生积极的社会影响，包括经济和环境效益。完成 I-Corps 计划下的拟议活动可能有助于了解如何将理论结果和分析转化为可行的市场体系。特别是，提高对客户和利益相关者关注点和需求的理解最终应导致风险管理系统的改进，从而增加所有市场参与者的利润。水资源管理方面的冲突日益增多，大量资金用于诉讼，农民的农业生产力也因法规受到限制而下降。项目活动成功转化为公共用途可以为农民提供新的风险管理工具，降低水重新分配的成本，并提高农业生产力和利润，同时保持或改善环境条件和资源可持续性。成功完成活动有可能加深人们对如何设计和实施商业上可行的基于市场的资源分配系统的理解。
