Valuing Water Used by Industry 327 $a6.1 Industrial Water Use 330 $aWater 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 a 606 $aWater-supply$xEconomic aspects 606 $aWater resources development$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aWater-supply$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aWater resources development$xEconomic aspects. 676 $a333.91 700 $aYoung$b Robert A$g(Robert Alton),$f1931-,$0874563 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818139703321 996 $aDetermining the economic value of water$93938428 997 $aUNINA
