The key aspects that institutions may tackle not only include the increasing water scarcity in many regions around the world but also the increasing frequency and impact of droughts on economic and natural systems. Some of the included papers analyze critical issues, such as the state and future trends of water markets; the estimation of transaction costs when dealing with drought management; and the use of new instruments, such as insurance and water-rights entitlements, which include water security, water-pricing effects on the whole basin level, and intra- and inter-sectorial re-allocation. The important issues regarding non-conventional water supply and the governance of the new resources also feature as the focus of some of the contributions.Technology: general issuesbicsscallocation rulesBaiyangdian Lakeclimate changeclimate change adaptationcluster analysiscomplex water extractioncost of adaptationcost-benefit analysisdroughtdrought riskdynamic changeseconomic modelgood water practiceshydro-economic modellinginstitutional economicsinter-sectoralirrigation agricultureirrigation insuranceLandsatMediterraneann/aPo River Basinpriority rightsreclaimed waterrisk curvesrisk reductionriver basinriver basin managementSMDPSOSpainSWOT analysistouristtourist accommodationwater managementwater marketswater policywater pricingwater reusewater rightswater scarcitywater supplywater supply reliabilitywater supply riskwater usewater-use efficiencyWestern USTechnology: general issuesBerbel Julioedt1325351Montilla-López Nazaret MedtGiannoccaro GiacomoedtBerbel JulioothMontilla-López Nazaret MothGiannoccaro GiacomoothBOOK9910557345303321Institutions and Economics of Water Scarcity and Droughts3036786UNINA
