Modeling sustainable groundwater management: packaging and sequencing of policy interventions.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Of the many studies estimating effectiveness of policy reforms most have been considering various types of policy reforms in isolation from each other. Such pattern has also been the case in water resource regulations. In the case of groundwater almost all policy interventions considered in the literature have been implemented individually, without taking into account the possible interactions and impacts among them. In this paper, we focus on two policy instruments: water quota and uniform water tax. The paper demonstrates how packaging and sequencing sets of policy interventions, with possible triggers to initiate their time of implementation, may be more effective in achieving a sustainable groundwater management than single policies when environmental externalities exist. The policy instruments are applied to the Western la Mancha aquifer in Southeast Spain, a major aquifer that is managed by a command and control approach.

Managing groundwater with spatially variable externalities
Despite modeling groundwater as a common property resource, existing economic analyses find that the quantitative difference between competitive and socially optimal groundwater management outcomes is negligible. Thus, in contrast to the public perception of groundwater overextraction and resource depletion, there appears to be no economic rationale for groundwater management. In this paper, we...
متن کاملSustainable Management of Groundwater Resources Using Multi-Criteria Programming (A Case Study of Kashmar Plain)
Frequent droughts and their consequences result in the loss of groundwater, the deficiency of nutrients, the drying of surface water resources, and substantially more exploitation of the groundwater resources, which, altogether, cause the mobilization of saline waters to groundwater tables. This will impair the capacity of the aquifers and the quality of the water. The VIKOR method was applied ...
