Ariel Dinar: Water Institutions and their Performance, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This open access book provides the motivation to the work, realizing that water availability and its quality have become limiting factors for economic growth of various nations and leading to inefficient use of water and loss of welfare. Increased impacts of various processes, including intensification of climate change impacts on various water-dependent sectors, population growth, and a rise in standards of living in different parts of the world calls for institutional interventions that were proven successful in recent years and various places. The monograph reviews the development of various institutions in the water sector, implemented under different contexts, time periods, scales, types of water use, and several other specifications. The Introduction describes also the organization of the monograph.
