"The handbook presents essays on a variety of key water resources problems from integrated surface water-groundwater management to the design of water markets, emphasizing analytical techniques for finding solutions. The handbook would be excellent for graduate level water management courses and for top level water managers who value the ability to conceptualize problems and solution techniques. Excellent case studies of integrated water management and water markets are presented." – Charles (Chuck) Howe, Professor Emeritus of Economics, University of Colorado-Boulder, USA. "This book brings many of the world's most eminent water economists together to provide insights on the modern and future management of water locally, and globally. Readers will find the diverse perspectives and approaches illuminating on one of the world's greatest challenges - managing water for growing populations and a changing climate." – Jay R. Lund, Director, Center for Watershed Sciences, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of California – Davis, USA."This volume offers an extensive treatment of 'frontier' issues in water resource economics and policy, with contributions from the field’s eminent scholars. On topics from agriculture to urban use, and from pollution to water scarcity, it will become a go-to reference for students and researchers alike." – Sheila Olmstead, Associate Professor, LBJ School of Public Affairs, The University of Texas at Austin, USA.
