An economic model of ground water salinization is developed. Starting from a full, high-quality aquifer, there is an initial extraction period, an intermediate waste disposal period, and a final drainage period. Drainage management is initially source control and reuse, but eventually culminates...

planted in perennial crops. During the recent severe drought experienced in the MDB, water allocations to farmers in the … Riverland were cut drastically leading to a variety of adaptations by perennial crop producers including changes in irrigation … at the intensive and extensive margins. The Australian government has responded to the drought by creating a plan to buy …

We develop a stochastic-dynamic model of technology adoption that imposes fewer restrictions on behavior than do previous studies of similar decision problems. Like these previous studies, our model is forward-looking and can be used to demonstrate the additional "hurdle rate" that must be met...
