Use federal water funding to unlock state and local investment—that’s the shift at the center of the Aspen National Water Strategy.
Martin Doyle of Duke University says the proposal is straightforward but underutilized: structure federal dollars to leverage and sequence spending across all levels of government. Instead of fragmented funding streams, align priorities, coordinate timing, and design projects so one layer of investment triggers the next.
It’s a move toward intentional financing—where federal support catalyzes broader investment, states build momentum, and local projects get delivered with greater impact. In a system facing massive needs, this approach is about making every dollar work harder and go further.
The future of water funding isn’t just bigger—it’s better coordinated.
