PRICE-RESPONSIVENESS OF DEMAND FOR IRRIGATION WATER WITHDRAWALS VS. CONSUMPTIVE USE: ESTIMATES AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS
Young, Robert A.; Cardon, Grant E.; Scheierling, Susanne M. - 2003
Of water withdrawn for agricultural crop irrigation, a portion is consumed and the remainder comes back to the … hydrologic system as return flows. Previous models of irrigation water demand have mostly focused on the change in withdrawals in … planning. This study develops a simulation/mathematical programming model of water demand representing an irrigation company in …

Evaluation of Peak Pricing on Single-Family Residential Water Consumption in Seattle
Hsu, David - 2009
Public water utilities have increasingly turned to increasing block rate price structures to reduce water consumption and signal the high environmental costs of water supply. Hsu evaluates the impact of a new and substantially higher price block added to the existing block rate price structure...

Integrated system dynamics toolbox for water resources planning.
Reno, Marissa Devan; Passell, Howard David; Malczynski, … - 2008
Public mediated resource planning is quickly becoming the norm rather than the exception. Unfortunately, supporting tools are lacking that interactively engage the public in the decision-making process and integrate over the myriad values that influence water policy. In the pages of this report...

The economics of urban water policy : infrastructure, scarcity, and conservation
Hansen, Jason - 2009
This research focuses on urban water policy. The three papers extend the literature through economic application, taking theory in a direction that informs water resource managers on optimal decision-making or a better approach to management. Three primary results are: first, that the optimal...

Urban Water Restrictions: Attitudes, Information and Willingness to Pay
Cooper, Bethany; Crase, Lin - 2009
In most urban cities across Australia, water restrictions remain the dominant policymechanism to restrict urban water consumption. The extensive adoption of waterrestrictions over several years means that Australian urban water prices have consistently not reflected the opportunity cost of water...

Flood Planning and Climate Forecasts at the Local Level
Wernstedt, Kris; Hersh, Robert - 2002
We examine the use of El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) forecasts for flood planning in the Pacific Northwest. Using theories of resource mobilization as a conceptual foundation, the paper relies on: 1) case studies of three communities vulnerable to flooding that have had access to long-term...
