This open access textbook provides a concise introduction to
economic approaches and mathematical methods for the study of water
allocation and distribution problems. Written in an accessible and
straightforward style, it discusses and analyzes central issues in
integrated water resource management, water tariffs, water markets,
and transboundary water management. By illustrating the interplay
between the hydrological cycle and the rules and institutions that
govern today's water allocation policies, the authors develop a
modern perspective on water management. Moreover, the book presents
an in-depth assessment of the political and ethical dimensions of
water management and its institutional embeddedness, by discussing
distribution issues and issues of the enforceability of human
rights in managing water resources. Given its scope, the book will
appeal to advanced undergraduate and graduate students of economics
and engineering, as well as practitioners in the water sector,
seeking a deeper understanding of economic approaches to the study
of water management.
