Water is becoming an increasingly scarce commodity in many parts of the world. Population growth plus a growing appetite for larger quantities of cheap water quality as a result of urban, industrial and agricultural pollution, coupled with increasing environmental demands, have further reduced usable suppliers. This book brings together 30 economic articles addressing water scarcity issues within the US and Mexico. By touching on a number of different issues, the volume clearly articulates the need for improving existing institutional arrangements as well as for developing new arrangements to address growing water scarcity problems.
