The authors then turn to five proposals to encourage the broader establishment and use of market institutions to encourage reallocation of water resources and to provide new tools for risk mitigation. Each of the five proposals offers a means of building resilience into our water management systems..The American West has a long tradition of conflict over water. But after fifteen years of drought across the region, it is no longer simply conflict: it is crisis. In the face of unprecedented declines in reservoir storage and groundwater reserves throughout the West, this book focuseson a set of policies that could contribute to a lasting solution: using market forces to facilitate the movement of water resources and to mitigate the risk of water shortages.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2015Latest edition | | 关键词 | Water; Social Sciences; Public policy; Water Management; Water Governance; water quality and water pollut | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.5822/978-1-61091-674-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-61091-674-5 | | copyright | Peter Culp 2015 |
