Water demand management through price and market mechanisms is crucial for agricultural water management. However, how to set an appropriate remains unclear due the uncertainty regarding response of changes complexity hydro-economic system. Thus, this study developed a water-economic model examine both issues in Heihe River Basin. The empirical results revealed that basin’s currently price-inel...

Several hydrological studies forecast a global problem of water scarcity. This raises the question as to whether increasing water scarcity may impose constraints on the growth of countries. The influence of water utilisation on economic growth is depicted through a growth model that includes this congestible nonexcludable good as a productive input for private producers. Growth is negatively af...

In Nigeria irrigated agriculture is an important tool for economic growth, food security, and poverty reduction during dry periods of rain-fed agriculture. The concentration and composition of dissolved constituents in water determines its quality for irrigation use. Water quality studies strongly suggest that agriculture is a leading source of water quality problems, due to pesticides and othe...

abstract governments in regional and national level try to improve economic and productivity growth by different polices. the being aware of effective factors in national and regional economic and productivity growth is essential for government success. in this paper, to being of aware determinant factors in productivity inequality, we use decomposition approach and econometric estimation for 2...

background: economic burden due to premature mortalities is significant both on health system and on the society as a whole. this study aimed to determine the productivity costs and years of potential life lost associated with five leading causes of death in iran from 2006 to 2010.   methods: data on mortality by sex and age-groups due to five main leading causes of death   (myocardial infarcti...

ABSTRACT- Efficient use of irrigation water for summer crops should be considered seriously due to rare occurrence of precipitation in summer. This research was focused on the assessment of water use efficiency for dominant crops of summer cropping pattern in the study area (i.e., maize and rice) via considering water productivity (WP) with different water management scenarios at farm level at ...
