Estimating sediment yield and streamflow, as well as identifying soil erosion processes, are necessary for properly designing superior management techniques, monitoring and evaluating various management scenarios, and prioritizing better conservation planning. Therefore, this study estimates...

Water quality conditions in the Yamato-Gawa River, Japan, in 1963 might be Pareto optimum because biological oxygen demand (BOD) concentration was smaller than the BOD criteria, 5 mg l-1, which was determined in 1970, however, water quality deterioration in 1963-1970, up to 22 for average or 32...

Market-based instruments such as fees or tradable perm its can be used to simultaneously regulate point and non-point sources of pollution discharge into a river However sources of pollution discharge often have more information about their own costs of pollution abatement than do regulators....

The EU Habitats Directive provides in Annexes II and IV a list of species needing to be conserved. Member States have implemented a variety of conservation measures in response to this obligation. These measures include the rejection, modification or delay of land development plans, payments for...

Developing countries have increased sanitation investment to reduce diarrheal diseases. However, the direct health benefits of latrine construction can be offset by water pollution externalities due to poor treatment of fecal sludge. I estimate these negative externalities of a sanitation policy...
