The task of supplying enough water of the required quality to growing populations is straining authorities and governments to the limit as the economic and environmental costs of new supply sources escalate and wasteful supply, delivery and consumption systems persist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eManaging Water as an Economic Resource\u003c\/em\u003e argues that the root of the crisis is the failure of suppliers and consumers to treat water as a scarce commodity with an economic value. James Winpenny evaluates policies for the improved management of existing demand, and draws on case studies from different countries as he discusses how policies could be implemented to treat water as an economic good conferring major economic, financial and environmental benefits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Winpenny\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415103789\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415103787\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/16\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.46h x 5.46w x 0.58d","brand":"James Winpenny","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086561816831,"sku":"9780415103787","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2a348fc4-8641-41cc-a022-c9ac23df141a.jpg?v=1769095389","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/managing-water-as-an-economic-james-winpenny-9780415103787","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
