Valuing water for sustainable development

The food-energy-water nexus: A framework for sustainable development modeling

Energy, water, and food are facing present and future challenges triggered by climate change, population growth, human behavior, and economics. Management strategies for energy, water, and food are possible through policies, technology, and related education. However, the links between resources (energy, water, and food) and impacting factors (population increase, human behavior, economics, and...

Water and Sustainable Development: a Southern Perspective

The Sustainable Development of Water Resources

Water resources management is one of the most important challenges the world faces. It is difficult to think of a resource more essential to the health of human communities or their economies than water.

Valuing Water Quality as a Function of Water Quality Measures∗

Employing a unique and rich data set of water quality attributes in conjunction with detailed household characteristics and trip information, we develop a mixed logit model of recreational lake usage. Our empirical analysis shows that individuals are responsive to the full set of water quality measures used by biologists to identify the impaired status of lakes. WTP estimates are reported based...
