This broad review of the development of US water resource policy
analysis and practice offers perspectives from several disciplines:
law, economics, engineering, ecology and political science. While
the historical context provided goes back to the early 19th
century, the book concentrates on the past 60 years and features a
discussion of the difficulty that has generally been encountered in
bringing the disciplines of economics and ecology into
collaboration in the water resource context.The book explores the
evolution of water related analytical capabilities and institutions
and provides illustrations from case studies, concluding with
recommendations for research, institutional change and action.
Though designed to be a background textbook for interdisciplinary
graduate seminars in water resources planning and management, it is
accessible to interested lay readers and those who have
policymaking or implementation responsibility but lack a technical
background. The book will appeal to students and faculty in water
policy, economics, and engineering, and in interdisciplinary
programs organized around water resource problems and questions.
Policy makers and general readers will also appreciate this
non-technical introduction.
This volume, originally published in 1975, grew out of Resources
for the Future's involvement as a consultant to the Marine
Ecosystem Analysis programme management within the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Agency. Here, researchers look at the state of the
art in aquatic ecological modelling in a resource management
context. Although the aim of the research in this volume is
specific, the models used can be applied in broader contexts and
provide conceptual frameworks for regional residuals-environmental
quality management and other ecological modelling. This title is
suitable for students interested in Environmental Studies.
The authors address the problems of determining the implications of
different environmental standards and public policies by
investigating their effect on industrial costs and resource use
within linear-programming framework. Originally published in 1976
Economic models are used to show the extent of the difficulties
involved in monitoring and enforcing pollution control laws on a
continual basis. The authors make several recommendations for
policy change. They also show that high rates of compliance can be
achieved within tight budget constraints.Originally published in
1986
First Published in 2011. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
Incentives in Water Quality Management explores the role of
effluent charges in France and the Ruhr area of the federal
republic of Germany by delving into both regulatory and economic
systems that are utilised in the water quality management of these
two areas. Originally published in 1981, these studies place an
emphasis on the necessity of legislation in effective water quality
management whilst attempting to create a complete picture of the
water quality management systems in place in France and the Ruhr
area. This title will be of interest to students of Environmental
Studies.

This title, originally published in 1981, explores the difficult,
and at times volatile, relationship between public choice and rural
development in developing countries. The book is organised into
three major sections: the first section examines important general
themes, the second describes how public choice and rural
development intertwine in some areas of concern to aid donors, and
finally, the third section revisits the major themes discussed in
the book and offers further understanding to the critical questions
and problems at hand. It is a valuable resource for students
interested in environmental studies and development studies.
Originally published in 1978, this volume addresses the scientific,
economic, and administrative aspects of the public policy problem
raised by the United States' Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974. In
this collection of papers, the authors examine the various problems
presented by drinking public water in the United States, the United
Kingdom, and throughout Europe. This is an ideal title for students
interested in environmental studies and public policy reform.
Environmental Quality Management provides a quantitative analysis
of regional residuals environmental quality management in the Lower
Delaware Valley. Originally published in 1976, this study takes a
management outlook to discuss new systems such as a non-linear
aquatic eco-system model and reaches conclusions which have
influenced research and management decisions about REQM across the
world. This title will be of interest to students of Environmental
Studies.
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, signed into law in 1972,
dramatically redirected the nation's water pollution control
efforts and set out ambitious national goals, expressed both in
terms of discharge controls and of resulting water quality.
Originally published in 1982, this title examines the benefits that
a reduction in the discharge of water pollutants has for
recreational fisherman including an increase in the total
availability of fishable natural water bodies and an improvement in
the aesthetic quality of the fishing experience. It is a valuable
resource for students interested in environmental studies and
public policy making.

Nonpoint-source pollution (NPSP) poses a special challenge to
society's ability to manage its collective environmental good -
especially surface and groundwater quality. Since there is no
'point', such as an outfall pipe, from which the pollution is being
discharged and can be measured, pollution can reach the ambient
environment without being monitored. Since management of air and
water polution requires the definition and enforcement of limits on
discharges or the imposition of fees on those discharges, inability
to measure limits our ability to manage this environmental problem.
This book presents a state-of-the-art review and discussion of
economists' efforts to resolve this major problem and attempts to
provide a way of working around it. The book sets forth the
theoretical issues, modeling, and the actual programs set up to
confront this issue.
