Valuing Water Used by Industry6.1 Industrial Water UseWater provides benefits as a commodity for agriculture, industry, and households--and as a public good for scenic values, waste assimilation, wildlife habitats, and recreational use. However, even as the nature and needs of economies change, water continues to be allocated to other than high priority uses, water quality continues to decline, environmental uses get inadequate attention, and floods and droughts take an unnecessarily severe toll. One reason for this is that price signals that reflect scarcities of goods and thereby guide investments and resource allocation in the private sector aWater-supplyEconomic aspectsWater resources developmentEconomic aspectsElectronic books.Water-supplyEconomic aspects.Water resources developmentEconomic aspects.333.91Young Robert A(Robert Alton),1931-,874563MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459509903321Determining the economic value of water2234598UNINA
