Vision
LWRCE helps smallholders, utilities, and conservation groups coordinate micro-allocations and seasonal trades that improve reliability and ecosystem flows. The vision is a transparent, lawful space to discover opportunities, clarify terms, and record agreements so communities can adapt to climate stress without litigation and gridlock.
Problem
Water rights are legally complex and geographically fragmented. Rules, adjudications, and historical usage proofs live in scanned PDFs and private files; smallholders lack counsel to navigate them. Utilities struggle to create incentive programs that respect local constraints. As a result, cooperative trades that could relieve shortages and fund restoration rarely happen at the needed pace or scale.
Solution
Cosolvent standardizes brief templates and term sheets aligned with local law. With LLM+RAG, participants upload decrees, permits, ditch company bylaws, and metering logs, then ask, “are short-term in-basin leases allowed during drought Stage 2?” The system extracts the relevant clauses with citations. ClientSynth simulates seasonal flows and synthetic trade networks to project benefits and risks for sponsors before pilots, accelerating uptake while reducing dispute risk.
Business Model
Revenue includes coordination and registry fees, with utility and foundation sponsorship of pilot basins. Over time, anonymized, governed program telemetry—trades executed, reliability gained, restoration funds—supports public reporting and justifies expansion.
