Shopping for Water: How the Market Can Mitigate Water Shortages in the American West
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- The authors propose the establishment and use of market mechanisms to encourage reallocation and trading of water resources and to provide new tools for risk management. Together, the reforms would build resilience into our country's water management systems and mitigate the water-supply challenges that plague many areas of the West.
