Business Segment Reporting
 
In its operation of the business, management, including our chief operating decision makers, reviews certain financial information, including segmented internal profit and loss statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. During the periods presented, we reported our financial performance based on the following segments: Land and Resource Management and Water Service and Operations. Our segments provide management with a comprehensive financial view of our key businesses. The segments enable the alignment of strategies and objectives of the Trust and provide a framework for timely and rational allocation of resources within businesses. We eliminate any inter-segment revenues and expenses upon consolidation.
 
The Land and Resource Management segment encompasses the business of managing approximately 900,000 acres of land and related resources in West Texas owned by the Trust. The revenue streams of this segment consist of royalties from oil and gas, land sales, and revenues from easements and leases.
 
The Water Service and Operations segment encompasses the business of providing a full-service water offering to operators in the Permian Basin as well as managing agreements with energy companies and oilfield service businesses to allow such companies to explore for water, drill water wells, construct water-related infrastructure and purchase water sourced from land that we own. The revenue streams of this segment consist of revenues from direct sales of water and to a lesser extent, easements and sundry income and royalties on sales of water.
