Abstract

Manos B., Bournaris T., Kamruzzaman M., Begum M., Anjuman A. and Papathanasiou J. (2006) Regional impact of irrigation water pricing in Greece under alternative scenarios of European policy: a multicriteria analysis, Regional Studies 40 , 1--15. This study simulates the impact that various policies based upon the water price have on agricultural production and analyses the economic, social and the environmental implications of alternative irrigation water policies using a multicriteria model. For the purpose of scenario analysis, narratives and quantitative indicator values have been compiled. The results show that the increase of water price causes almost similar impacts with those observed in the status quo scenario. The results also stress that water pricing as a single instrument for controlling irrigation water use is not a satisfactory tool for significantly reducing water consumption in agriculture. Manos B., Bournaris T., Kamruzzaman M., Begum M., Anjuman A. et Papathanasiou J. (2006) L'impact régional du prix de l'eau d'irrigation en Grèce sous des optiques de politique européenne différentes: une analyse à plusieurs variables, Regional Studies 40 , 1--15. Cette étude cherche à simuler l'impact que pourraient avoir sur la production agricole diverses politiques fondées sur le prix de l'eau et, à partir d'un modèle à plusieurs variables, analyser les retombées économiques, sociales et écologiques des politiques alternatives pour ce qui concerne l'eau d'irrigation. Pour analyser des scénarios, on a établi des histoires narratives et des indicateurs quantitaifs. Les résultats laissent voir que la hausse du prix de l'eau entraîne des impacts qui sont plus ou moins similaires au statu quo . Les résultats soulignent aussi que la tarification de l'eau comme le seul moyen de contrôler l'eau d'irrigation ne s'avère pas un outil satisfaisant pour réduire sensiblement la consommation de l'eau dans l'agriculture. Retombées économiques, sociales et écologiques Agriculture irriguée Modèle à plusieurs variables Analyse par le prix de l'eau Manos B., Bournaris T., Kamruzzaman M., Begum M., Anjuman A. und Papathanasiou J. (2006) Die regionalen Auswirkungen der Preise von Bewässerungswasser in Griechenland unter verschiedenen Szenarien der Europapolitik: eine Multikriterien-Analyse, Regional Studies 40 , 1--15. In dieser Studie werden mit Hilfe eines Multikriterien-Modells die Auswirkungen verschiedener auf dem Wasserpreis aufbauender Politiken auf die landwirtschaftliche Produktion simuliert, und es werden die wirtschaftlichen, sozialen und Umweltauswirkungen unterschiedlicher Bewässerungswasser-Politiken analysiert. Für die Szenario-Analyse wurden Berichte und quantitative Indikatorwerte erfasst. Aus den Ergebnissen geht hervor, dass eine Erhöhung des Wasserpreises beinahe ähnliche Auswirkungen hat wie die im Status-quo-Szenario beobachteten Auswirkungen. Ebenso bekräftigen die Ergebnisse die These, dass der Wasserpreis alleine als Mittel zur Kontrolle des Bewässerungswasserkonsums nicht ausreicht, um den Wasserverbrauch in der Landwirtschaft wesentlich zu senken.

(2006) Impacto regional del precio del agua en la irrigación en Grecia bajo diferentes casos según la política europea: un análisis de varios criterios, Regional Studies 40 , 1--15. Con ayuda de un modelo de varios criterios, en este estudio simulamos el impacto que tienen en la producción agrícola las diferentes políticas sobre el precio del agua, y analizamos las repercusiones económicas, sociales y medioambientales de las políticas alternativas del agua en la irrigación. Para fines analíticos hemos recopilado valores indicativos narrativos y cuantitativos. Los resultados indican que el aumento del precio del agua causa impactos casi similares con los que observamos en el caso de status quo. Los resultados también indican que el precio del agua como método único para controlar el uso de agua en la irrigación no es una herramienta satisfactoria para reducir en gran medida el consumo del agua en la agricultura.
