Resumo: 	This study constructs a simulation model to evaluate the potential for conflict among residential and agricultural users of water in southern Rhode Island.  The model estimates the profitability of irrigation and turf farms and projects the total use and the economic value of irrigation water.  The results indicate that the economic value of irrigation water compares favorably with current residential water prices in the area.  In addition, substantial demand for irrigation water is projected.  Given current rates of growth in turf acreage and residential water use, there appears to be a significant potential for conflict, particularly given the absence of well developed institutions for allocating water among users.
