Book Synopsis Broken Pumps and Promises by : Evan A. Thomas
Download or read book Broken Pumps and Promises written by Evan A. Thomas and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume highlights some of the challenges in delivering effective environmental health interventions, and presents examples of emergent theories and case studies that can help close the gap between intent and impact. These include impact crediting systems, objective evidence gathering tools, and social businesses that service environmental health. The case studies presented cross disciplines, scales, organizational and national boundaries and can defy easy categorization. A water project may be designed for a health impact, but financed with a climate change tool, and leverage high tech cell phone sensors. A cookstove program may be primarily concerned with employment and capacity building, but balance environmental and health concerns. Presently, the impact of interventions may not always be aligned to the intent sought. In this book, readers will discover alternative ways to move the mindset of funders and implementers toward pay-for-performance models of humanitarian and environmental interventions. Undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in social enterprise, social entrepreneurship, global health, appropriate technology, international development and development engineering would benefit from these increasingly non-traditional case studies that challenge commonly accepted presentations of poverty reduction and social enterprise.

Book Synopsis Use of Economic Instruments in Water Policy by : Manuel Lago
Download or read book Use of Economic Instruments in Water Policy written by Manuel Lago and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-09-21 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses both the effectiveness and efficiency of implemented Economic Policy Instruments (EPIs) in order to achieve water policy goals and identifies the preconditions under which they outperform alternative (e.g. regulatory) policy instruments and/or can complement them as part of complex policy mixes. The development of a consolidated assessment framework helps clarify (and where possible, quantify) the effectiveness of each EPI on the basis of different criteria. Outcome-oriented criteria describe how the EPIs perform. They include intended and unintended economic and environmental outcomes and the distribution of benefits and costs among the affected parties. These steps consider the application of cost effectiveness and cost benefits analysis, e.g. to assess ex-post performance of the EPI. Process criteria describe the institutional conditions (legislative, political, cultural, etc.) affecting the formation and operation of the EPI studied (particularly relevant for assessing the possible impacts of using economic instruments), the transaction costs involved in implementing and enforcing the instruments and the process of implementation. Case studies from Cyprus, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom, as well as from Australia, Chile, Israel and the USA are presented in this book. A wide variety of EPIs are also covered, including water-pricing schemes (tariffs, environmental taxes, environmental charges or fees, subsidies on products and practices), trading schemes (tradable permits for abstraction and pollution) and cooperation mechanisms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Publisher's Note: Products purchased from Third Party sellers are not guaranteed by the publisher for quality, authenticity, or access to any online entitlements included with the product. Water-quality trading is a market-based approach that allows a facility to meet its regulatory obligations by using the pollutant reductions created by another facility capable of doing it at a much lower cost. This resource is a practical guide for wastewater treatment plants to use in evaluating the potential for water-quality trading and provides the framework for designing and implementing the trade.
Book Synopsis The Creation of Markets for Ecosystem Services in the United States by : Mattijs van Maasakkers
Download or read book The Creation of Markets for Ecosystem Services in the United States written by Mattijs van Maasakkers and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Creation of Markets for Ecosystem Services in the United States is a detailed analysis of the most advanced efforts to create markets for ecosystem services in the United States. With the help of in-depth case studies of three well-known attempts to create such markets––in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, the Ohio River basin and the Willamette River basin––the book explains why very few of these markets have actually succeeded even after close to two decades of much scholarly enthusiasm, significant federal funding and concerted efforts by NGOs, government agencies and private businesses. Based on interviews, policy analysis and participatory observation, three features of markets for ecosystem services emerge as particularly problematic. First, the logic of displacement or the idea that particular elements of an ecosystem can be separated and traded across landscapes or watersheds runs counter to political interests, environmental beliefs and people's connections to specific places. The second problem is that of measurement. Quantification methods embed a range of often contentious assumptions and decisions about what counts when restoring ecosystems. The third problem is related to participation in environmental decision-making.

This book was released on 2007-05-27 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents both general and comprehensive observations of unsuccessful and successful experiences in water pollution trading programs within the U.S. These experiences help in understanding the major environmental, economic and regulatory barriers that prevent the application of pollution trading in water media to become successful. This work combines background information with real experience.

Book Synopsis Development of Implementation Methods of Water Quality Trading Policy by : Yee Sook Shin
Download or read book Development of Implementation Methods of Water Quality Trading Policy written by Yee Sook Shin and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recently promulgated water quality trading (WQT) policy is an innovative approach for achieving water quality standards with flexibility and economic efficiency. The policy allows for the trading of point and nonpoint source pollutant discharges between different locations within a watershed, as long as water quality standards are not violated along the stream. Many pilot programs and projects have generated useful information on how to implement water quality trading, but the number of actual trades is relatively small. The difficulty in determining the equality of trading locations and the uncertainty of nonpoint source pollutant concentrations in streams hinder the implementation of the trading program. The hydrological simulation program-fortran (HSPF) was used to estimate the hydrology and sediment loading throughout the Brush Creek, MO watershed for future land use development scenarios between upstream and downstream locations. Brush Creek does not have a proper monitoring station for calibration and validation of the watershed model. Thus, the Meramec River watershed which drains to the Meramec River near Eureka, MO station (07019000) was selected for input parameter calibration because the watershed contains the Brush Creek watershed as a subbasin. The development scenarios considered include upstream and downstream development from agricultural, forest, and range land to urbanized development with 25, 50, and 75 percent impervious surface through manually modified land use maps. Restoration scenarios would return agricultural areas to range land in both the upstream and downstream locations. Their hydrologic and sediment impacts to the outlet of the watershed were simulated in order to provide an estimate of how this particular land use change might be incorporated into a water quality trade. After sediment calculations for 20 different scenarios were performed in HSPF, equivalent acreages for sediment generation between upstream and downstream locations were developed as potential water quality trading units. Recommended equivalent acreages for the nonimparied and impaired stream cases were provided as references for a trading program manager in order to implement the water quality trading policy.
