Economics for Water Resource Management
Issued by
Griffith University
Earners have developed the concept of sustainable water resource management in reference to scale, equity and efficiency criteria. Earners consider conditions under which markets fail to allocate water resources efficiently and form the basis for designing appropriate economic methodologies to allocate scarce water resources amongst competing uses. Earners apply learnings to real-world situations such as urban water supply, water in agriculture, water and health, and water in environmental uses.
