Efficient pricing of a resource incorporates both marginal cost of extraction and scarcity rents. Since groundwater … establishing clear groundwater ownership rights, scarcity value frequently goes unrecognized and is difficult to estimate.

General principles of groundwater management for a single aquifer are extended to the management of multiple water … resources, including additional aquifers, recycled wastewater, and desalinated seawater. Optimal groundwater extraction can be … must be modified in certain situations, e.g. to accommodate corner solutions or governance costs. Groundwater management …

This paper considers the problem of a water management authority that is faced with the threat of a drought that will take place at an uncertain date. Three management policies are investigated: i) the laissez-faire policy of automatic regulation through Open Access mechanisms, ii) the policy of...

Greening the economy is mostly about improving water governance and not only about putting the existing resource saving technical alternatives into practice. Focusing on the second and forgetting the first risks finishing with a highly efficient use of water services at the level of each...
