abstract water pricing is a policy instrument for improving water efficiency, reducing water demand, management of the irrigation systems and recovering costs. the underlying principle of water pricing is that it should reflect the opportunity cost of water. in this study, parametric mathematical programming approache were used to estimate the willingness of farmers to pay for groundwater under...

The eastern Mediterranean faces a severe water crisis: water supply decreases due to climate change, while demand increases due to rapid population growth. The GLOWA Jordan River project generates science-based management strategies for maximizing water productivity under global climate change. We use a novel definition of water productivity as the full range of services provided by landscapes ...

The objective of this paper is to introduce models to determine an effective, feasible, and cost-efficient strategy for Saudi Arabia’s water supply system to meet its projected demand in 2025. This paper uses cost minimizing and production maximizing approaches to build the models. The water management system is divided into three processes–desalination, distribution, and wastewater treatment. ...

This paper describes the development and application of a simulation tool to assess impact water-efficient appliances greywater recycling strategies on domestic water consumption wastewater generation profiles. Two time-series datasets in UK households – each consisting more than 20,000 observations were used deduce use appliance usage patterns as function per for water-use household characteri...

Understanding the knowledge of climate-change impacts on water-resources is a priority. This article goes step further with main objective this study to explore water-practitioners’ viewpoints regarding water supply-side and demand-side management measures in coping future climatic achieve urban security. Interviews were conducted water-professionals from regional authorities Queensland, Austra...
