Groundwater pollution policy design : what can be learned from the experience of Israel, the United States, and Germany
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, countries all over the world were waking up to a new Dawn, finding out they have to fight for the improvement of their groundwater quality. Much like other environmental problems, groundwater pollution has become a global phenomenon of varying degrees of severity. This dissertation examines the experiences of Israel, Germany and the United States, in their efforts to regulate the protection and remediation of their groundwater. Each of these countries has adopted an elaborate system of laws that protects groundwater, preventing further contamination, and often times providing for remediation in cases of existing polluted basins. Each of these countries has taken a different approach in the design of their groundwater pollution policies, allowing for variance in the objectives of the policy, its scope, the delegated authority, its minimization of future costs, and transparency. Moreover, each of these cases has seen different rates of improvement in groundwater quality. The dissertation uses the three case studies and their experience to formulate hypotheses relating to lessons that can be learned about the design of groundwater and remediation policies.
