Written in an accessible and straightforward style, it discusses and analyzes central issues in integrated water resource management, water tariffs, water markets, and transboundary water management. By illustrating the interplay between the hydrological cycle and the rules and institutions that govern today’s water allocation policies, the authors develop a modern perspective on water management. Moreover, the book presents an in-depth assessment of the political and ethical dimensions of water management and its institutional embeddedness, by discussing distribution issues and issues of the enforceability of human rights in managing water resources. Given its scope, the book will appeal to advanced undergraduate and graduate students of economics and engineering, as well as practitioners in the water sector, seekinga deeper understanding of economic approaches to the study of water management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGeorg Meran\u003c\/b\u003e is a Professor of Environmental Economics at Technical University of Berlin (TU Berlin), Germany, and Research Fellow at the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin), Germany, specializing in applied microeconomic and institutional aspects of water. He holds a PhD from the Free University of Berlin, and has served as Dean of the DIW Berlin Graduate Center for Economic and Social Sciences (2004 – 2010), and as Dean of Studies at the Faculty of Economics and Management, Technical University of Berlin (2008 – present). Prof. Meran has published extensively on various environmental issues, allocation of water rights, pricing, nudging, energy economics, regulation issues, etc. He teaches an undergraduate course on fundamentals of environmental and resource economics, courses on advanced environmental economics as well as ecological economics, and a course on water economics, the content of which provides the basis for this textbook.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMarkus Siehlow\u003c\/b\u003e is a Senior Researcher at the Workgroup of Environmental Economics at Technical University of Berlin (TU Berlin).
