This book aims to show that economics in general and non-market
valuation methods in particular, together with participatory and
engineering tools, can facilitate the design and implementation of
the different European policies in relation to mitigation of water
stress. The results presented in this book derive from AquaStress,
an EU funded integrated project, delivering interdisciplinary
methodologies to help mitigate water stress problems. The project
draws on both academic and practitioner skills to generate
knowledge in technological, operational management, policy,
socio-economic, and environmental domains. The book is divided in
three parts and as the AquaStress project, is case study driven.
Part I begins with a review of the up-to-date use of non-market
valuation economic methods in the design and implementation of EU
water policies. Part II of the book proceeds to discuss and analyze
participatory and engineering tools that can facilitate the
determination of efficient water resources policies and the
consequent implementation of the EU WFD, using case studies of test
sites from Bulgaria, Italy, Morocco and Poland. Part III of the
book, brings us back to the use of economic tools and focuses on
policy appraisal through social cost-benefit analyses and the
choice/estimation of the socially efficient discount rate to be
used in such analyses. The book concludes with specific policy
recommendations for all case-studies considered in previous
chapters. This work would be of most interest to water resources
managers and policy makers as well as consultants working on the
implementation of the WFD. It would also be helpful to students and
scholars of water resource management.
