Examination of water in reservoirs of Ukraine by passive monitoring methods allows to detect content of heavy metals in amounts that greatly exceed the MPC. This paper deals with results of the monitoring of toxic substances in the small rivers of the Kiev region, which are caused by the...

Im Arbeitsbericht werden Ergebnisse zur Berechnung und Analyse der Nährstoffbilanzierung der Jahre 2007 und 2010 auf Gemeindeebene für das Land Schleswig-Holstein vorgestellt und deren Datengrundlage, die Methodik und Unsicherheiten diskutiert. Es zeigt sich, dass die Nährstoffüberschüsse...

Optimal recycling of minerals can be thought of as an integral part of the theory of the mine. In this paper, we consider the role that wastewater recycling plays in the optimal extraction of groundwater, a renewable resource. We develop a two-sector dynamic optimization model to solve for the...

Promoting environmentally friendly farming products is crucial to meeting consumer demand. Although governments implement policy measures to improve the environmental performance of the agriculture sector, their impacts are difficult to assess. This study analyses the performance of...

We consider the design of ambient taxes forrisk-neutral and risk-averse polluters whenpolluters and the regulatory agency haveasymmetric information about environmentalrelationships and probabilities associatedwith random events. Unlike prior work, we showthat under these conditions, optimal...

The potential sensitivity of environmentalresource valuation to payment vehicles is ofinterest to researchers and decision-makersinvolved in estimating and applying thesenumbers. A conceptual model is developed whichprovides insight into how the different paymentvehicles of a special tax and a...
