Tapping Water Markets is about the past, present, and future of
water markets. It compares water markets with political water
allocation, documents the growth of water markets, and explores the
ways in which water markets can be improved and implemented
further. This book provides up-to-date information of where and why
water shortages are occurring and where and why water markets are
evolving to resolve conflicting water uses. Though the main focus
is on the United States, it includes examples from other parts of
the world to show how water markets are beginning to thrive. It
contains institutional detail that is accessible to people who are
not economic or hydrologic experts, and comes alive with numerous
examples and case studies of water markets. The book begins with an
analysis of water institutions as they have varied over time and
location. It then covers a range of discrete water management
topics including surface water allocation, groundwater management,
environmental flows, and water quality trading. The book concludes
with predictions about the future of water scarcity and the ability
of water markets to shape that future more positively.
