Water is a multidimensional issue, involving water availability, access to freshwater, spatial and temporal … other aspects. The water security approach manages such complexity and proposes a comprehensive view of human security in … relation to the water-related issues. Consequently, the solutions developed in order to face this multi-faceted concept should …

This paper analyzes the economic impacts of changes in water availability due to climate change. We develop a new … modeling approach as an alternative to include water as a production factor within a global CGE model. We tailor the structure … agricultural sector. In order to reach this objective, a new database has been built to explicitly consider water endowments …

We analyse agreements on river water allocation between riparian countries. Besides being efficient, water allocation … agreements need to be stable in order to be effective in increasing the efficiency of water use. In this paper, we assess the … stability of water allocation agreements, using a game theoretic model. We consider the effects of climate change and the choice …

This article aims to investigate some aspects of the social process related to water resources management and gender … relations. Given that gender and water management are interrelated issues exposed to a growing attention at the international … Technology for Sustainable Water Resources Management in the Mediterranean), a Co-ordination Action funded by the European …

Many water allocation agreements in transboundary river basins are inherently unstable. Due to stochastic river flow …, agreements may be broken in case of drought. The objective of this paper is to analyse whether water allocation agreements can be … self-enforcing. An agreement is modelled as the outcome of bargaining game on river water allocation. Given this agreement …

The current Water Abstraction License (WAL) regime in Italy is no longer flexible enough to cope with the challenges … of bottom-up conflict resolution mechanisms at a basin scale; a water pricing scheme that does not reflect the cost of … water conveyance and use, and does not encourage efficient water allocation; and the lack of a central WAL register, which …
