Water availability in semiarid regions commonly exhibits patterns of extreme variability. Even in basins with large infrastructure development, some users are subject to low levels of water reliability, incurring economic losses during periods of scarcity. More flexible instruments, such as...

The methodology used for Economic Valuation of the Externalities generated by the Watershead Restoration and Erosion Control Projects in the Hydrographic Basins of the Mediterranean Slope, is based on the Replacement Cost Method. Environmental Economics, however, today offer us other...

RESUMEN: La evidencia disponible sobre los efectos externos de los mercados de agua actualmente en funcionamiento es contradictoria. Algunos trabajos demuestran que el intercambio de agua reduce la contaminación derivada de los sistemas productivos del regadío, mientras que otros concluyen lo...

The CV method estimate the monetary value that specific changes in the provision of goods and services represent for society, which is asked for their Willingness To Pay (WTP) for it, according to their budget and individual preferences, in a survey. The applications of CV are a source of...

El presente trabajo trata de evaluar los efectos externos de la erosión del suelo mediante el uso del método del Experimento de Elección (EE). Tras una breve revisión de la literatura socioeconómica sobre el problema de la erosión y de los métodos empleados para evaluar sus efectos, se...

This paper proposes an Economic Drought Management Index (EDMI) that could assist water managers to inter-temporally manage water reservoirs. The index's main appeal is that it can be easily interpreted and that encompasses in a single number hydrological processes, structural constraints, water...
