It identifies five areas of particular importance -- asymmetric information and game theory, uncertainty, space, water quality, and production and technology adoption. Individual chapters address issues such as allocation of water and water as a pubic good; the influence of weather variability, network failures, and input price risk; the impact of heterogeneity of the land on water use efficiency; quality of water and pollution, and the potential substitutions between capital and water via new technologies.Goetz, Renan-Ulrich is the author of 'Frontiers in Water Resource Economics ', published 2005 under ISBN 9780387300559 and ISBN 0387300554.
