Routledge Handbook of Water Economics and Institutions

This Handbook aims to expand the scope of efficient water use to include allocation of sources and quantities across uses and time, as well as integrating demand-management with supply-side substitutes. Mechanisms to incentivize efficient behavior are discussed in the contexts of perfect and imperfect information. Case studies from the United States, Australia, Europe, and Canada highlight the successes and remaining challenges of establishing efficient water markets.
