Urban sustainability has been one of the most important issues in the last decades. The modification of watercourses and their integration to power production facilities have resulted in severe environmental impacts around the globe. This study presents a sustainability analysis to examine the...

Located in the semi-arid and water-scarce area, Comarca Lagunera is one of the main agricultural and dairy products supplying regions in Mexico. As a consequence of the intensive exploitation of groundwater resources for irrigating purposes over one century, the water table has declined up to...

Monterrey procures about 40% of its water supply from groundwater resources, considering several aquifers below and nearby. This city meets semiarid climate conditions with highly variable precipitation rates. The increasing demand for groundwater during drought conditions can deteriorate water...

The Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) is increasingly recognizing that adequate valuation of ecosystem services is a key input to improved decision-making on protected areas, forest and natural resources more generally; but the lack of data, accepted methodologies and technical capacity have...

In many developing world cities, where municipal infrastructure lags urban growth, lower-income communities may compensate by relying on local waterways to meet basic needs for water, sanitation, and recreational space. Access to these environmental services is possible because residents settle...

The Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) is increasingly recognizing that adequate valuation of ecosystem services is a key input to improved decision-making on protected areas, forest and natural resources more generally; but the lack of data, accepted methodologies and technical capacity have...

This study aims to empirically test the effects of negative environmental externalities (i.e. noise pollution) due to construction activities within half to one kilometer (km) radius and how households react to such externalities by increasing the use of air-conditioners to mitigate noise from...

The demand for urban river rehabilitation can be measured through stated preference surveys such as choice experiments, providing information on the welfare estimates of a particular approach. We deploy such a technique in the context of plans to rehabilitate a major river in Jakarta, Indonesia....
