Does Complex Hydrology Require Complex Water Quality Policy? NManager Simulations for Lake Rotorua

Anastasiadis, Simon; Nauleau, Marie-Laure; Kerr, Suzi; … - Motu: Economic & Public Policy Research - 2011

Institute for Water and Atmospheric Research. We focus on Lake Rotorua in the Bay of Plenty in New Zealand, where the regional … during the 1960s. Reaching this goal will require significant reductions in the amount of nutrients discharged into the lake … in the catchment: nutrients that leach from the soil arrive at the lake over multiple years. The mitigation schemes we …

Valuing a Spatially Diverse Non-Market Good: The Benefits of Reduced Non-Point Source Pollution in Green Bay, WI

Moore, Rebecca; Bishop, Richard C.; Provencher, Bill - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2007

This article presents an empirical approach to correcting for spatial interactions in stated preference data when valuing large-scale, spatially variable environmental improvements. This approach is presented in the context of a contingent valuation study estimating the benefits of reduced...

Vegetation Buffer Strips Design Using an Optimization Approach for Non-Point Source Pollutant Control of an Agricultural Watershed

Qi, Honghai; Altinakar, Mustafa - In: Water Resources Management 25 (2011) 2, pp. 565-578

Management of agriculture-induced water quality problems requires an integrated approach involving selection of the most suitable and economical Best Management Practices (BMP). Vegetation Buffer Strips (VBS), one of the commonly used off-field structural BMPs, when designed and placed...

Modeling environmental risk and land management trade-offs in the Great Barrier Reef catchment

Mallawaarachchi, Thilak; Mazur, Kasia; Lawson, Kenton - Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society … - 2007

We develop a catchment scale modeling framework to identify cost-effective strategies for joint onsite abatement and offsite mitigation of land-based pollution from agricultural activities that pose a risk to water quality in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). An illustrative example of the Barron...

Uniform and Non-Uniform Second-Best Input Taxes.

Claassen, Roger; Horan, Richard D. - 2001

We investigate second-best, input-based taxes foragricultural nonpoint pollution control when marketprices are endogenous and production isheterogeneous. Theoretically, we derive the optimalforms of taxes which take account of heterogeneity(non-uniform taxes) and a tax which does not (auniform...

Nitrate, Total Ammonia, and Total Suspended Sediments Modeling for the Mobile River Watershed

Alarcon, Vladimir J.; Sassenrath, Gretchen F. - In: International Journal of Agricultural and Environmental … 8 (2017) 2, pp. 20-31

This paper presents details of a water quality model of the Mobile River watershed that estimates total suspended sediments at the outlet of the watershed. The model is capable of simulating Nitrate (NO3), Total Ammonia (TAM), and Total Suspended Sediments (TSS) for extended periods of time at a...
