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. 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $aBaiyangdian Lake 610 $aLandsat 610 $acomplex water extraction 610 $aSMDPSO 610 $adynamic changes 610 $adrought risk 610 $awater supply risk 610 $airrigation insurance 610 $awater use 610 $aSpain 610 $adrought 610 $awater markets 610 $aWestern US 610 $ahydro-economic modelling 610 $awater policy 610 $aclimate change 610 $ariver basin management 610 $awater scarcity 610 $awater supply 610 $arisk reduction 610 $arisk curves 610 $acost-benefit analysis 610 $awater management 610 $awater rights 610 $awater supply reliability 610 $airrigation agriculture 610 $aallocation rules 610 $apriority rights 610 $aPo River Basin 610 $ainstitutional economics 610 $aclimate change adaptation 610 $acost of adaptation 610 $awater pricing 610 $awater-use efficiency 610 $aeconomic model 610 $ainter-sectoral 610 $ariver basin 610 $agood water practices 610 $atourist accommodation 610 $atourist 610 $aMediterranean 610 $awater reuse 610 $areclaimed water 610 $aSWOT analysis 610 $acluster analysis 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aBerbel$b Julio$4edt$01325351 702 $aMontilla-Lo?pez$b Nazaret M$4edt 702 $aGiannoccaro$b Giacomo$4edt 702 $aBerbel$b Julio$4oth 702 $aMontilla-Lo?pez$b Nazaret M$4oth 702 $aGiannoccaro$b Giacomo$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557345303321 996 $aInstitutions and Economics of Water Scarcity and Droughts$93036786 997 $aUNINA
