What does AGAI Do?

AGAI serves many purposes in the Gallatin Valley. Here is a quick look at some of the things we do:

  • Protect historically decreed water rights at the state and local level

  • Educate local and state decision makers, as well as the public, about the prior appropriation doctrine

  • Work with Montana State University (MSU) and Gallatin Valley GIS to document ditches through GIS mapping

  • Help members find funding to meet their needs and goals

  • Develop and share tools to help member ditches deal with development pressures

  • Work with the District Court and the Water Commissioner to facilitate distributing water pursuant to the Water Court Decree

  • Help host the Annual Judges Water Walk educational tour, co-sponsored by the District Court
