Innovations in economic assessment of drought
While numerous studies have examined the economic repercussions of drought, there remains a gap in integrated analyses comprehensively assessing its economic effects, especially where there is no drought adaptation policy under debate calling for a standard cost-benefit analysis. This work's first contribution comes from the development of a non-linear econometric model predicting total county income for several counties and years, for which popu…
Predictors of access to safe drinking water
Nearly one-quarter of the world's population lacks effective access to safe drinking water (SDW). The discovery and implementation of affordable and workable measures to supply safe affordable drinking water internationally remains elusive. Few works have examined a range of economic, institutional, and governance factors influencing that access. To address these gaps in the literature, the current study investigates the role of selected economic…
Agricultural water saving through technologies
A zombie idea is one that has been repeatedly refuted by analysis and evidence, and should have died, but clings to life for reasons that are difficult to understand without further investigation. The perception that investments in modern irrigation systems automatically save water constitutes a zombie idea. On face value, most would accept that modernizing irrigation systems makes sense: agriculture represents 70% of global water withdrawals whi…
Reducing conflict in development and allocation of transboundary rivers
This article explores opportunities for water scarcity to motivate neighboring nations in transboundary basins to cooperate in the development and allocation of water. Climate change raises the importance of discovering foundations for this cooperation. We examine the development of infrastructure and allocation of water in the controversial Amu Darya Basin. An analysis is presented that characterizes politically constrained and economically opti…
Gains from expanded irrigation water trading in Egypt
Basin impacts of irrigation water conservation policy
Integrated basin management
Water conservation in irrigation can increase water use
Climate change, water supply limits, and continued population growth have intensified the search for measures to conserve water in irrigated agriculture, the world's largest water user. Policy measures that encourage adoption of water-conserving irrigation technologies are widely believed to make more water available for cities and the environment. However, little integrated analysis has been conducted to test this hypothesis. This article presen…
Efficiency, equity, and sustainability in a water quantity–quality optimization model in the Rio Grande basin
Optimally Locating a National Public Facility
This paper provides an empirical framework for testing a welfare change measure by considering the following problem: a public agency is faced with the decision of how to maximize public welfare fr
