Abstract

As developed countries reach a state where decisions regarding the supply and distribution of water resources are made in an environment of a ‘mature water economy’, water managers are increasingly turning towards economics to assist them to plan future supply to meet increasing demand.

Griffin has produced a textbook comprised of 12 chapters providing a comprehensive overview of water resource allocation issues including allocation efficiency, institutional considerations, policy evaluation using cost-benefit analysis as well as issues pertaining to modelling and management of supply and demand. ...
