Download or read book Determining the Economic Value of Water written by Robert A. Young and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-23 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water provides benefits as a commodity for agriculture, industry, and households, and as a public good such as fisheries habitat, water quality and recreational use. To aid in cost-benefit analysis under conditions where market determined price signals are usually unavailable, economists have developed a range of alternative valuation methods for measuring economic benefits. This volume provides the most comprehensive exposition to-date of the application of economic valuation methods to proposed water resources investments and policies. It provides a conceptual framework for valuation of both commodity and public good uses of water, addressing non-market valuation techniques appropriate to measuring public benefits - including water quality improvement, recreation, and fish habitat enhancement. The book describes the various measurement methods, illustrates how they are applied in practice, and discusses their strengths, limitations, and appropriate roles. In this second edition, all chapters have been thoroughly updated, and in particular the coverage of water markets and valuation of ecosystem services from water has been expanded. Robert Young, author of the 2005 edition, has been joined for this new edition by John Loomis, who brings additional expertise on ecosystem services and the environmental economics of water for recreational and other public good uses of water.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition of Measuring Nonuse Damages Using Conjoint Valuation is essentially a reprint of a 1992 monograph that has been in steady demand since its original appearance. The RTI Press edition, which is intended to meet continued inquiries and requests for the monograph, contains a Foreword and a Preface to the second edition that put the original work into historical perspective. These studies of ways to value stated preferences, as applied then to the Exxon Valdez oil spill, continue to be a timely and still-rigorous examination of such methods; even with the passage of time and statistical advances from the past two decades, the conclusions and insights as to whether and how these techniques might still be employed in valuing use or nonuse losses from similar events remain valid.

This book was released on 2018-11-28 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book is an outcome of the collaboration between the Soil and Water Management & Crop Nutrition Section, Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture, Department of Nuclear Sciences and Applications, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Vienna, Austria, and Dr. Shabbir A Shahid, Senior Salinity Management Expert, Freelancer based in United Arab Emirates.The objective of this book is to develop protocols for salinity and sodicity assessment and develop mitigation and adaptation measures to use saline and sodic soils sustainably. The focus is on important issues related to salinity and sodicity and to describe these in an easy and user friendly way. The information has been compiled from the latest published literature and from the authors’ publications specific to the subject matter. The book consists of six chapters. Chapter 1 introduces the terms salinity and sodicity and describes various salinity classification systems commonly used around the world. Chapter 2 reviews global distribution of salinization and socioeconomic aspects related to salinity and crop production. Chapters 3 covers comprehensively salinity and sodicity adaptation and mitigation options including physical, chemical, hydrological and biological methods. Chapter 4 discusses the efforts that have been made to demonstrate the development of soil salinity zones under different irrigation systems. Chapter 5 discusses the quality of irrigation water, boron toxicity and relative tolerance to boron, the effects of chlorides on crops. Chapter 6 introduces the role of nuclear techniques in saline agriculture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Salinity has become a major concern in irrigated agriculture. Degraded water quality due to salinity threatens agricultural sustainability by limiting agricultural productivity and profitability. The natural intrusion of saltwater into aquifers is one reason for salinity, yet groundwater overpumping for irrigated agriculture, and regional climate and hydrology conditions have compounded such salinity challenges. The sustainability of irrigated agriculture in a saline environment depends on an accurate understanding of the effects of salinity and potential methods of adaptation. This dissertation contains three chapters providing insights into how salinity impacts agricultural decisions and land values. These insights are obtained by analyzing two regions, the High Plains Aquifer in central Kansas and the Central Valley Aquifer in California. The first chapter examines the impact of groundwater salinity on farmers' main irrigation decisions by estimating the response along the extensive (i.e., irrigated acres), direct intensive (i.e., water application depth), and indirect intensive (i.e., crop choice) margins. Econometrics models are estimated using observed farmer behavior in response to exposure to different groundwater salinity levels using field-level panel data in a region of Kansas during 1991-2014. Results demonstrate that farmers facing salinity adjust their water use through all three margins, but most of the decrease in water use due to higher salinity is through the extensive margin. The second chapter evaluates the impact of groundwater salinity on agricultural land values with a unique dataset of parcel sale prices during 1988-2015 in a region of Kansas. I estimate hedonic regression models that control for spatial heterogeneity using either county fixed-effects or a nonlinear function of the geographic coordinates. The results demonstrate that groundwater salinity negatively impacts land values. These estimates can be interpreted as the economic damages from salinity, or equivalently, farmers' willingness-to-pay to offset salinity. The third chapter quantifies the adaption to soil salinity by farmers in California's Western San Joaquin Valley by econometrically estimating how farmers change crop choices in response to different soil salinity levels. I use high-resolution remotely-sensed soil salinity and crop data during 2007-2016. My estimates show that as the level of salinity increases, the probability of growing salt-tolerant crops increases. This suggests that farmer' adapt to salinity according to the degree of salinity. However, my estimates may have some endogeneity bias since crop choice affects the amount of water applied, which could affect the amount of soil salinity.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this report is to produce a review on water resource valuation issues and techniques specifically for the appraisal and negotiation of raw (as opposed to bulk or retail) water resource allocation for agricultural development projects. The review considers raw water in naturally occurring watercourses, lakes, wetlands, soil and aquifers, taking an ecosystem function perspective at a catchment scale, and takes account of the demands from irrigated and rainfed agriculture. It is hoped that the review will have particular application to developing countries where agreed methods for reconciling competing uses are often absent, but nevertheless takes account of valuation approaches that have been made in post industrial economies.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the importance of nutrient-water interactions, they are often ignored in analysis. After discussing the interrelationships between soil nutrients and water and reviewing methods for determining nutrient balances, this report describes an array of available methods for soil nutrient valuation and provides a discussion of four nutrient valuation studies, which together cover a range of scales, perspectives, and geographic contexts. It also includes case studies from Ghana, Mexico, sub-Saharan Africa, and an examination of possible approaches to valuing soil organic matter and its various functions--an often ignored area in literature.
