Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We use laboratory experiments to test three different water market institutions designed to incorporate instream flow values into the allocation. The institutions are (1) a baseline with fixed minimum flow constraints, (2) an environmental agent contributing to the cost of providing instream flows, and (3) creating an instream flow right in which an environmental agent can sell the right to reduced flows. Using a "smart" computer-coordinated market, we find that direct environmental participation in the market can achieve highly efficient and stable allocations. A particularly attractive and practical feature of the third institution is that it nests the status quo in the sense that, should the environmental agent choose not to participate in the market, the default minimum instream flow constraints will be maintained. Although flows may be lower in this institution relative to a fixed constraint on minimum flows, because these flow reductions are voluntary and compensated, all deviations from the status quo (i.e., binding flow constraints) are necessarily Pareto improving in the sense that no agent, including the environment, is made worse off.

Book Synopsis Instream Flow Protection by : David M. Gillilan
Download or read book Instream Flow Protection written by David M. Gillilan and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2013-02-22 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instream Flow Protection is a comprehensive overview of Western water use and the issues that surround it. The authors explain instream flow and its historical, political, and legal context; describe current instream flow laws and policies; and present methods of protecting instream flow. They provide numerous examples to illustrate their discussions, with case studies of major river systems including the Bitterroot, Clark's Fork, Colorado, Columbia, Mimbres, Mono Lake, Platte, Snake, and Wind. Policymakers, land and water managers at local, state, and federal levels, attorneys, students and researchers of water issues, and anyone concerned with instream flow protection will find the book enormously valuable.

Book Synopsis Water Trading and Global Water Scarcity by : Josefina Maestu
Download or read book Water Trading and Global Water Scarcity written by Josefina Maestu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water scarcity is an increasing problem in many parts of the world, yet conventional supply-side economics and management are insufficient to deal with it. One of the key water management options for water demand is water trading. This book explores the role of water trading, as an instrument of integrated water resources management.
Book Synopsis Estimation of Cost and Benefit of Instream Flow by : Parvaneh Amirfathi
Download or read book Estimation of Cost and Benefit of Instream Flow written by Parvaneh Amirfathi and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water flowing in streams has value for various types of recreationists and is essential for fish and wildlife. Since water demands for offstream uses in the arid west have been steadily increasing, increasing instream flows to enhance the recreational experience might be in conflict with established withdrawals for uses such as agriculture, industries and households. It is the intent of this study to contribute to an economic assessment of the tradeoff between maintaining instream flow for river recreation use and offstream uses; that is, to develop and apply a method to measure costs and benefits of water used for recreation on a river. Since market prices are not observable for instream flows, the estimation economic value of instream flow would present well known difficulties. The household production function theory was used to build the theoretical model to measure economic value of instream flow. Policy implication are discussed with emphasis on application of the information to water management decisions.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 930 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jan van Schilfgaarde, USDA Agricultural Research Service and National Research Council Committee on Irrigation-Induced Water Quality Problems In 1982, a startling discovery was made. Many waterbirds in Kesterson National Wildlife Refuge were dying or suffering reproductive failure. Located in the San Joaquin Valley (Valley) of California, the Kesterson Reservoir (Kesterson) was used to store agricultural drainage water and it was soon determined that the probable cause of the damage to wildlife was high concen trations of selenium, derived from the water and water organisms in the reservoir. This discovery drastically changed numerous aspects of water management in California, and especially affected irrigated agriculture. In fact, the repercussions spilled over to much of the Western United States. For a century, water development for irrigation has been a religiously pursued means for economic development of the West. The primary objective of the Reclamation Act of 1902 was, purportedly, the development ofirrigation water to support family farms which, in turn, would enhance the regional economy (Worster, 1985).
Book Synopsis Incorporating and Evaluating Environmental Instream Flows in a Priority Order Based Surface Water Allocation Model by : Mark Allen Pauls

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the remaining water resources in river basins around the world are appropriated for human uses, it is critical to protect environmental instream flows in order to preserve aquatic and riparian species and ecosystems. It is widely recognized that an adequate environmental flow regime consists of a range of flow conditions. In Texas, a statewide planning process was established in 2007 for determining environmental flow recommendations for the state's river basins. The environmental flow recommendations, which consist of subsistence flows, base flows, and high flow pulse events, are determined for each basin by a team of scientists and committee of stakeholders. The recommendations are considered by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) in developing environmental flow standards which are incorporated into the state's prior-appropriation water rights permitting system. The environmental flow standards for the Colorado River basin and Trinity River basin are incorporated in daily time-step versions of the authorized use scenario water availability models using existing and recently added features of the Water Rights Analysis Package (WRAP). Various metrics are developed by this research to characterize the degree to which the environmental flow standards are attained, given their junior position in the priority sequence. The techniques used to model instream flows in the Colorado and Trinity river basins contribute to the body of knowledge for modeling flow standards in other basins. Metrics describing the degree to which environmental flow standards are attained will assist scientists and decision-makers in the evaluation and revision of the standards.
