Comparative assessment of water markets: insights from the Murray–Darling Basin of Australia and the Western USA Tập 14 Số 2 - Trang 175-193 - 2012
R. Quentin Grafton, Gary D. Libecap, Eric C. Edwards, Robert O’Brien, Clay Landry
Water markets in Australia's Murray–Darling Basin (MDB) and the western USA are
compared in terms of their ability to allocate scarce water resources. The study
finds that the gains from trade in the MDB are worth hundreds of millions of
dollars per year (note that all monetary units of dollars in this article are
treated as US$ because Australian$ are converted at par). Total market turnover

As water scarcity worsens globally, there is growing interest in finding ways to
reduce water consumption, and for reallocating water savings to other uses
including environmental restoration. Because irrigated agriculture is
responsible for more than 90% of all consumptive water use in water-scarce
regions, much attention is being focused on opportunities to save water on
irrigated farms. At the ... hiện toàn bộ
Implications of India's biofuel policies for food, water and the poor Tập 10 Số S1 - Trang 95-106 - 2008
Deepak Rajagopal
Increasing consensus about the end of cheap oil, the consequences of global
warming and the need for rural development are catalyzing the expansion of

Easy to say, hard to do: integrated surface water and groundwater management in the Murray–Darling Basin Tập 14 Số 4 - Trang 709-724 - 2012
Andrew Ross
Integrated management of surface water and groundwater can provide efficient and
flexible use of water through wet and dry periods, and address the impacts of
water use on other users and the environment. It can also help adaptation to
climate variation and uncertainty by means of supply diversification, storage
and exchange. Integrated water management is affected by surface water and
groundwater... hiện toàn bộ

Abstract The determination of the total amount of water pollutant emission in
different regions is a difficult problem faced by managers and researchers.
Previous studies mostly focused on operability and fairness with little
attention paid to local water quality. In order to make total emission pollutant
control (TEPC) truly serve the improvement of water quality, a water total
emission pollutant... hiện toàn bộ
