Groundwater is becoming increasingly scarce while the demand for
water continues to grow at a global scale. Understanding
groundwater resources and their sustainable management is
imperative for the future of groundwater use, conservation and
protection. This revised and updated two-volume set, focused on
sustainability, covers the economic values of groundwater
production and use, including micro- and macroeconomic factors,
groundwater markets, economic evaluation tools, climate change,
transboundary issues and policy evaluation. It explores numerous
applications and describes ways to evaluate the economics of
groundwater use in the context of the larger ecosystem and the
natural capital it provides. FEATURES OF THIS VOLUME Includes an
important new chapter on groundwater sustainability management
Addresses new examples of groundwater use that are applicable at
both the local and international levels Provides the foundation for
policy, program and project analysis for all major uses of
groundwater Updates groundwater use data along with explanations of
major production costs and use benefits Gives a new perspective on
users' competition for the subsurface environment Production, Use,
and Sustainability of Groundwater, Second Edition, the first volume
of the two-volume set Groundwater Economics, is a must-have for any
professional or student who needs to understand, evaluate and
manage water resources from a range of production and use
perspectives affecting groundwater resource sustainability.
