In America 's arid southwest, climate change will occur in the
context of already-keen competition for water for agriculture,
urban growth, electricity generation, water-based recreation, and
environmental protections. This book explores the challenges that
climate change and variability pose for water and energy managers
and users, communities, and policy makers in the arid Southwest and
demonstrates the application of economic methods to address these
challenges. It provides valuable tools for both those interested in
resource management and climate change, and those seeking to
understand how economic methods can be used to analyze contemporary
social problems and craft appropriate responses. The book considers
both adaptation to long-term climate change and more immediate
issues of water and electricity management in the face of
inter-annual climate variability and drought. Thus, no matter what
one 's perspective on long-run climate change projections, the book
provides useful lessons for some of the region 's most pressing
resource management problems.
