WATcommissionUnion-wide competence
Essential water before discretionary demand
Water and Volatiles safeguards essential access while coordinating resource use, quality, recycling and transfers. It serves households, utility cooperatives, agriculture teams and industrial operators. Its public premise is that a water ledger must distinguish physical custody, allocation rights and commercial contracts.

Allocation, quality custody and emergency reserves
Teams review reserve security, ice access, potability records, recycling chains, resource transfers and relevant watershed or aquifer stewardship. Allocation proposals disclose household and emergency needs before industrial demand. A custody change retains the quality evidence and the receiving operator's acceptance; a sale cannot erase a contamination or reserve obligation.
The powers we hold and the powers we refer
The Commission owns the relevant water findings, not mining sovereignty or every biological decision. Resources & Circular Industry Commission reviews extraction and closure, Health & Biomedical Commission the appropriate public health interface and Planetary Protection Authority protected-site concerns. Essential access remains independent of private debt enforcement.
A case in practice
Illustrative case / WAT
A lunar cooperative seeks a larger industrial allocation. The district records the effect on public reserves and new communities. The water office can require staged draw and public monitoring instead of granting an unrestricted volume. Any unresolved commercial cost remains separate from household access.
