The Economics of Groundwater Management in Arid Countries / Schiffler, Manuel - Psychology Press, 1998 - 436 pages

Formerly with the Germany Development Institute and now with the World Bank, Schiffler questions whether limited groundwater should be protected from depletion in all cases, and how it can best be allocated. He undertakes an economic analysis, considers political and hydrological aspects, presents various methods for assessing economic value and a framework for analyzing transfers of water to cities, examines eight types of management policy instruments, and applies it all to the Middle Eastern country.
