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 issuesbicsscBaiyangdian LakeLandsatcomplex water extractionSMDPSOdynamic changesdrought riskwater supply riskirrigation insurancewater useSpaindroughtwater marketsWestern UShydro-economic modellingwater policyclimate changeriver basin managementwater scarcitywater supplyrisk reductionrisk curvescost-benefit analysiswater managementwater rightswater supply reliabilityirrigation agricultureallocation rulespriority rightsPo River Basininstitutional economicsclimate change adaptationcost of adaptationwater pricingwater-use efficiencyeconomic modelinter-sectoralriver basingood water practicestourist accommodationtouristMediterraneanwater reusereclaimed waterSWOT analysiscluster analysisTechnology: general issuesBerbel Julioedt1325351Montilla-López Nazaret MedtGiannoccaro GiacomoedtBerbel JulioothMontilla-López Nazaret MothGiannoccaro GiacomoothBOOK9910557345303321Institutions and Economics of Water Scarcity and Droughts3036786UNINA
