The papers in this volume illustrate the power of a scientific
approach to ecological economics. Good science is a careful blend
of theory and empirical testing. Theory without empirical grounding
is of no practical value and random case studies without a
theoretical context are not generalizable. The back and forth
interplay between theory and evidence is apparent in the modeling
exercises, evaluation studies, and policy design described in this
book.
Watershed management has been chosen as a concrete focus to
illuminate the facets of sustainability. It requires both a deep
understanding of the natural processes in watersheds and of the
societal processes which strongly depend on the natural watershed
services. Furthermore, country-specific governance structures need
to be considered to fine-tune the design of sustainable watershed
policies in order to approach an interaction of society and nature,
which ensures a long term use of water resources without adverse
effects on society and the environment. This book has accepted the
challenge to tackle the complex scientific underpinning of
sustainable watershed analysis and management and will reveal basic
ecological economic knowledge and methodological approaches in this
prominent field of research.
Advances in the Economics of Environmental Resources is now
