Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Trade in Water Rights provides a new approach to the questions raised by international water transfer projects: To whom does water belong? More precisely, what rules should govern international water transfers from transboundary watercourses? These issues are usually studied through the lenses of international trade law. International Trade in Water Rights offers a new approach by highlighting the fundamental issue of domestic and international water property regime and introducing the difference between trade in water and trade in water rights. International Trade in Water Rights analyses the conditions under which market-based instruments could participate in the resolution of water disputes over international watercourses and recommendations are made based on the study of two cases of inter-state water trading in the Colorado River Basin and in the Murray Darling Basin. It is argued that the recognition of water as an economic good in domestic water reform will increasingly impact the management of international watercourses. The book is of key interest to water professionals, economists, lawyers, and political scientists dealing with transboundary disputes over water.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Markets for Water: Potential and Performance dispels many of the myths surrounding water markets and gives readers a comprehensive picture of the way that markets have developed in different parts of the world. It is possible, for example, for a water market to fail, and for the transaction costs in water markets to be excessive. Too often water trading is banned because the water resources have been developed with public funds and the water agencies do not want to lose control over water. There is also a concern that poor farmers or households will be disadvantaged by water trading. These concerns about public resources and the poor are not very different from those that have been voiced in the past about land sales. The problem is that in many cases the poor already have limited access to resources, but this limit is not due to water trading. In fact, water trading is likely to expand the access to water for many small-scale farmers. Markets for Water: Potential and Performance provides an analytical framework for water market establishment. It develops the necessary conditions for water markets and illustrates how they can improve both water management and economic efficiency. Finally, the book gives readers an up-to-date picture of what we have learned about water markets in a wide range of countries, from the US to Chile and India.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although significant water trading has occurred in California since the drought of the early 1990s, many localities have restricted water transfers because of the perceived harm to other users and the local economy. In Who Should Be Allowed to Sell Water in California? Third-Party Issues and the Water Market, Ellen Hanak examines water transfers in California, local resistance to them, and various approaches to resolving water disputes. Drawing on a new database of water transfers as well as interviews with state, county, and water district officials, the report calls for water management at the local level that balances the interests of other residents and the potential gains from transfers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In International Groundwater Law and the US-Mexico Border Region, Maria E. Milanes provides a study and analysis of the international groundwater law. The regulation and groundwater management along the US-Mexico border reflect the current international trends for management of transboundary groundwater. International Groundwater Law and the US-Mexico Border Region offers a new international legal and institutional framework to manage fossil aquifers and groundwater in conjunctive use with surface water, where specific guidelines and recommendations for water banking can improve water allocation and protect the environment. This framework can be adapted to any region of around the world. The US-Mexico border is the case study selected to apply and demonstrate the efficacy of this legal and institutional framework.

Download or read book Evolution of Water Marketing in California written by Damian Blase Bickett and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation tells the story of how users in California have come to reallocate their water through markets. I attempt to improve upon earlier work and explain what changed within water marketing as well as why things changed. Using regression analysis to analyze these changes is difficult because of the tremendous heterogeneity among users and because discrete changes in the laws do not correspond immediately to transfer activity. I use regression analysis in what follows, but understanding water marketing evolution necessitates case studies and a historical understanding as well. Therefore, I present a lot of history to place these recent changes in context, changes that many argue spurred recent market development. I discuss the different types of water transfers and present data on their trends and development, and then explain what changes mattered over time, bolstered by regressions using a fairly complete 30 year transfer dataset. Underlying much of my work, and especially part II, is the notion that murky water rights in California affect water marketing. To show how water rights affect water markets, I explain how they are murky in California by focusing on the administration of water rights and the institutional structure in California, and then I show how these notions hinder markets. Furthermore, I contrast California with Wyoming, the originator of the Wyoming water right system upon which California's system is based. Despite their similarities on paper, Wyoming's water right institutions and administration are different, and these differences produce different outcomes. Lastly, I use groundwater basin data to understand how California's unregulated resource affects transferability of surface water. Part I: Starting in the late 1950s, economists argued that reallocation through water marketing would be a more efficient way to accommodate new water demands. However, water transfers have been essentially invisible until 1990. What explains this change, and what doesn't? This section reviews this history of water marketing and the major changes affecting water markets, providing a narrative for understanding how water has been reallocated in California through markets and by other means. This narrative highlights the continuity between early administrative decisions and the outcomes today, whereas previous research explaining recent water market trends emphasizes the importance of recent water market legislation (without comprehending the genesis of these changes). A careful analysis shows that many of the legal changes have little causal effect on California's water market. Using a more comprehensive and accurate dataset than in previous research, this paper also explains the trends in water marketing. Part II: In what ways does the water right system affect marketing? One way to understand how California's water right system affects marketing is to understand Wyoming's system. Both Wyoming and California have appropriative right systems, but the tenets of appropriative water law do not simply apply to California. I explain how Wyoming's system is much cleaner, and present some data to show that this has real effects on the ground. In addition, because California water marketing data only show who actually does participate in the market, transfers that fail are ignored. To grasp why transfers fail is as important in understanding why they develop, and I present examples of the numerous transfers that failed in California as a result of murky water rights. Finally, I use groundwater data to lend support to the contention that murky water rights hinder a district's ability to transfer water.

Download or read book Water Markets for the 21st Century written by K. William Easter and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-30 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book evaluates the history, the present and the future of water markets on 5 continents, beginning with the institutional underpinnings of water markets and factors influencing transaction costs. The book examines markets in seven countries and three different U.S. states, ranging from village-level water markets in Oman to basin wide formal water markets in Australia's Murray-Darling River basin. Introductory chapters on the background of water markets and on transaction costs and policy design are followed by chapter length discussion of water markets as an adaptive response to climate change and of supply reliability in a changing climate. Case studies describe a variety of facets of the design and function of markets around the world: California, Chile, Spain, Oman, Australia, Canada, India and China. In analyzing these real-world examples of markets, the contributors explore water rights and trading of rights between agricultural and urban sectors and the principles and function of option markets. They discuss different sized approaches, from large scale, ministry-level administration of markets to informal arrangements among farmers in the same village, or groups of villages which allocate water without large investment in management and infrastructure. Discussion includes questions of why water market practices have not expanded more rapidly in arid places. The book discusses mechanisms for resolving conflicts between water rights holders as well as between water right holders and third parties impacted by water trades and whether or not public ownership of water rights or use rights should trump private ownership and under what condition. Also covered are new and expanding categories of water use, beyond human consumption, agriculture and industry to new technologies ranging from extracting natural gas from shale to producing biofuels. The book concludes with suggestions for future water markets and offers a realistic picture of how they might change water use and distribution practices going forward.

Book excerpt: Water is becoming increasingly scarce. If recent usage trends continue, shortages are inevitable. Aquanomics discusses some of the instruments and policies that may be implemented to postpone, or even avoid, the onset of water crises. These policies include establishing secure and transferable private water rights and extending these rights to uses that traditionally have not been allowed, including altering in-stream flows and ecosystem functions. The editors argue that such policies will help maximize water quantity and quality as water becomes scarcer and more valuable. Aquanomics contains many examples of how this is being accomplished, particularly in the formation of water markets and market-like exchanges of water rights.Many observers see calamity ahead unless water supplies are harnessed and effectively conserved, and unless water quality can be improved. It is also clear that declining water quality is a serious problem in much of the world, as increasing human activities induce high levels of water degradation. Those who voice these concerns, argue the contributors to this volume, fail to consider the forces for improvement inherent in market political-economic systems that can address water issues. The contributors see water quality in economically advanced countries as improving, and they believe this establishes the validity of market-based approaches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World Bank Discussion Paper No. 375. Social funds have proved to be important instruments for reaching the poor using community-based strategies. Yet, while there have been innovations in the design of these funds, the projects are much less participatory and demand-oriented than is commonly believed. This paper examines the extent to which social fund subprojects are designed to support community participation, demand orientation, and investment in local organizational capacity to achieve sustainability at the community level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American West faces many challenges, but none is more important than the challenge of managing its water. This book examines the role that water transfers can play in allocating the region's scarce water resources. It focuses on the variety of third parties, including Native Americans, Hispanic communities, rural communities, and the environment, that can sometimes be harmed when water is moved. The committee presents recommendations to guide states, tribes, and federal agencies toward better regulation. Seven in-depth case studies are presented: Nevada's Carson-Truckee basin, the Colorado Front Range, northern New Mexico, Washington's Yakima River basin, central Arizona, and the Central and Imperial valleys in California. Water Transfers in the West presents background and current information on factors that have encouraged water transfers, typical types of transfers, and their potential negative effects. The book highlights the benefits that water transfers can bring but notes the need for more third-party representation in the processes used to evaluate planned transfers.
