Introductions, placement, and proof
Qualified introductions
Owner inquiries matched to your coverage area and deal type, delivered with the holding, the state, and the owner’s stated goal. Priced per introduction or as a revenue share on closed business.
Featured placement
Named, clearly labeled placement in the comparisons and pages your future clients already read: the listing channel roundups, relevant state pages, and basin coverage. Placement never changes editorial rankings or the sourced numbers.
Measured from day one
Every outbound link on WaterLeases is click-tracked, and every valuation inquiry records the page it came from. Partners see real numbers for their placement, not impressions of impressions.
Pricing is a short conversation, not a rate card: it depends on your coverage, deal size, and whether we work per introduction or on closed business. Public agencies and nonprofit programs are always cited free.
The rules that make the traffic worth buying
Owners trust this site because it behaves like a reference, not a lead funnel. That trust is the asset partners rent, so the rules are not negotiable, and they are the reason an introduction from WaterLeases opens differently than a purchased list ever will.
- Sourced numbers only
Every market figure on the site traces to a public agency, index, or named report. Partnership never changes a number.
- Placement is labeled
Featured placement is visibly disclosed. Editorial rankings and recommendations are not for sale.
- Owners consent to introductions
We introduce owners who asked to be introduced, with the context they chose to share.
- Everything is measured
Outbound clicks route through tracked links and inquiries record their source page, so both sides see the same numbers.

Frequently asked questions
Who does WaterLeases reach?
Water right owners across the 17 western states who are actively researching what their water is worth and how to lease or sell it: state by state legal paths, sourced market rates, basin pages, and owner guides. Inquiries to our valuation desk state what the owner holds, in which state, and what they want to do with it.
How do introductions work?
When an owner asks for a valuation and their situation fits your coverage, we introduce the owner with their consent. Every introduction carries the context the owner gave us: the holding, the state, and the goal. Terms are per introduction or revenue share, agreed in advance.
Can we pay to be recommended?
No. Placement is always labeled, editorial rankings are not for sale, and every market figure on the site keeps its public source regardless of who partners with us. That discipline is why owners trust the site, which is exactly what makes the audience worth reaching.
Are public agencies and programs listed for free?
Yes, always. State agencies, water banks, trust programs, and conservation programs are cited and linked as part of the editorial content, free, forever. This page is for commercial partners.
