The Water Stewardship Score™
Every Aquivest asset carries a published Water Stewardship Score™, scored at acquisition, re-scored annually, and independently assured. The score is the single most important non-financial metric in our underwriting. It sits alongside the decree and the pro forma, not behind them.
The score has five dimensions. Each is scored on a defined scale; the composite is published per asset and reported in aggregate at the platform level.
Dimension
- What It Measures
Security of Right
- Priority date, perfection, beneficial use, and defensibility of the legal instrument.
Aquifer Condition
- Source-level condition, long-run yield, subsidence exposure, and recharge trajectory.
Ecosystem Flow Contribution
- In-stream flow, wetland support, and environmental water partnerships at the asset.
Community Access
- Municipal, tribal, and small-user access pricing and volume on owned infrastructure and land.
Climate Resilience
- Drought-weighted yield, temperature exposure, and adaptive-management capacity of the asset.
