Economic failure plagues developing countries' public Easter, K. W. Water-resour-res v.29, p.1913-1922. (1993). In the special section: Water resources issues and problems in developing countries. Descriptors: irrigation-systems; performance-; water-policy; government-; models-; developing-countries; philippines-; sri-lanka; nepal-; maharashtra- Abstract: The poor performance of many government or public irrigation systems is well documented. This study uses a model including internal and external assurance, commitment, and fairness to explain the performance of irrigation in the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Maharashtra State in India. The suggested approach is superior to ones based on the concept of "free rider" or government failure. The analysis shows that the Philippines and Maharashtra have developed ways to improve assurance concerning the actions of government and other irrigators which has improved irrigation performance. In contrast, Sri Lanka and Nepal have provided little assurance in their government irrigation systems and performance is poor.

Descriptors: lakes-; water-quality; watersheds-; pollution-; land-use; agricultural-land; stream-flow; nitrate-nitrogen; nitrogen-; phosphorus-; chemical-oxygen-demand; variation-; georgia-; nonpoint-source-pollution; flow-rate; total-nitrogen Abstract: Physically based models of lakes require estimates of daily, spatially varied water and nutrientfluxes into the lake from surrounding watersheds. Often, however, only a selected set of streamsare periodically (monthly or biweekly) sampled. The objective of this study was to develop andtest a method for estimating daily flux of nutrients into a large reservoir using data fromsampling of selected watersheds. Flow rate, nitrate (NO3-N), total nitrogen (TN), soluble reactivephosphorus (SRP), total phosphorus (TP), and chemical oxygen demand (COD) were measured monthlyduring 1991 for eight watersheds that feed Lake Lanier in northern Georgia. Daily stream flow inthe eight streams was correlated to data from nearby USGS gauged stream stations, and dailynutrient concentrations were related to watershed land use and monthly variation in measured concentrations. Fraction of agricultural land in the watershed (AG) was the only land use parameterthat correlated to nonpoint-source loads. Coefficients of determination for linear regressionsbetween AG and NO3-N, TN, SRP, TP, and COD were 0.74, 0.73, 0.47, 0.84, and 0.52, respectively. The relationships were tested on an independent data set consisting of two samples from 19additional streams. Coefficients of determination (r2) between measured and predicted data for the independent test data was 0.77, 0.52, 0.66, 0.64, 0.69, and 0.76 for stream flow, NO3-N, TN,SRP, TP, and COD, respectively. Percentages of nutrient loads attributable to nonpoint-source. whereas those attributable to agricultural nonpoint source were about 15% for COD, 28% for TN, 34% for NO3-N, 40% for TP, and 70% for SRP.

Descriptors: groundwater-; externalities-; resource-utilization; risk-; water-management; public-ownership; dynamic-programming; california- Abstract: In this paper the rate of groundwater extraction under the common property arrangement is the outcome of a dynamic game played with feedback strategies. The analysis clarifies the externalities associated with the common property extraction of groundwater and identifies an risk externality that arises when firms are risk averse. Identifying the various externalities bears on the development of appropriate forms of groundwater management. In particular, the risk externality would be unknown to the "watermaster" of a central control agency, suggesting the need for creative, decentralized forms of groundwater management.

Melding private and public interests in water rights markets. Lynne, G. D.; Saarinen, P. J-agric-appl-econ v.25, p.69-88. (1993). Paper presented at the Southern Agricultural Economics Association meetings, February 1, 1993, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Descriptors: water-policy; right-of-access; markets-; property-transfers; western-states-of-usa Abstract: The debate over privatizing and water markets has moved back and forth for decades between the "I" and the "We" perspectives. Rather than either/or, a balanced "I&We" view of water institutions is needed. West is meeting east in water law. Public interest needs must be satisfied in appropriate decision forums, but marketing may prove a social improvement when used as a supplement. Balancing an I&We" institution involves establishing an acceptable or tolerable level of interference through judicious mixing of state, common and private property regimes. Third-party effects are eliminated as mutual gain arises in a variety of decision forums. NAL Call No.: NALHD101.S6 ***************************************************************** 28. Modeling intrastate and interstate markets for Colorado River water resources. Booker, J. F.; Young, R. A. J-environ-econ-manage v.26, p.66-87. (1994). Includes references. Descriptors: water-resources; markets-; water-use; rivers-; right-of-access; optimization-methods; opportunity-costs; california- Abstract: A river basin optimization model is presented for investigating performance of alternative marketinstitutions for water resource allocation. We show that existing demands for Colorado Riverwater cannot be fully satisfied given mean annual flows of 13.0 million acre-feet at Lee's Ferry.Market transfers which minimize costs to consumptive users of such shortfalls may achieve aslittle as 50% of the incremental benefits possible with transfers, which incorporate the economic benefits of hydropower production and reductions in river salinity. Such efficient allocationswould require large transfers from existing Upper Basin consumptive users, and annual deliveriesto Mexico would exceed treaty obligations.

Optioning agricultural water rights for urban water supplies during drought. Michelsen, A. M.; Young, R. A. Am-j-agric-econ v.75, p.1010-1020. (1993). Includes references. Descriptors: irrigation-water; right-of-access; drought-; water-supply; rural-urban-relations; contracts-; case-studies; economic-evaluation; simulation-models; colorado-; water-supply-option-contract; fort-collins,-colorado Abstract: Option contracts for temporary use of irrigation water rights are evaluated as a less-expensive institutional arrangement for providing drought insurance for urban water agencies. Desirable option contract provisions are suggested and a framework for evaluating the economic benefits ofwater supply options is proposed. An integrated analytical system simulating the hydrologic, institutional, and economic relationships for a case study area in northeast Colorado is developedto evaluate the economic feasibility of water supply option contracts. Estimated present value benefits and sensitivity analyses indicate that dry year water options are economically viableover a considerable range of conditions.

Descriptors: pesticides-; cropping-systems; water-quality; water-supply; taxes-; economic-impact; demand-; groundwater-; equations-; agricultural-production; texas-; ad-valorem-tax Abstract: Abstract: The impact of an ad valorem pesticide tax on cropping patterns and pesticide use was examined in the South Central Texas Crop Reporting District. Output supply equations were econometrically estimated and used in the simulation. A 25 percent tax on pesticide was estimated to have major impacts on cropping patterns and on pesticide use. Assuming other input and output prices were unaffected, the supply of one important crop would fall by more than half. Demand for some of the highly soluble and persistent pesticides, which present the greatest threat to groundwater quality, would also decrease substantially (some as much as 50 percent).

S.; Letson, D.; Crutchfield, S. R. Am-j-agric-econ v.75, p.959-967. (1993). Includes references. Descriptors: pollution-control; law-enforcement; costs-; water-quality; trading-; uncertainty-; mathematical-models; ratios-; usa-; abatement-costs Abstract: In programs for trading pollution abatement between point and nonpoint sources, the trading ratiospecifies the rate at which nonpoint source abatement can be substituted for point sourceabatement. The appropriate value of this ratio is unclear because of qualitative differencesbetween the two classes of sources. To identify the optimal trading ratio, we develop and analyzea model of point/nonpoint trading. We find the optimal trading ratio depends on the relativecosts of enforcing point versus nonpoint reductions and on the uncertainty associated with nonpoint loadings. The uncertainty does not imply a lower bound for the optimal trading ratio. NAL Call No.: NAL280.8-J822 ***************************************************************** 33. The potential for water market efficiency when instream flows have value. Griffin, R. C.; Hsu, S. H. Am-J-Agric-Econ v.75, p.292-303. (1993). Includes references. Descriptors: water-allocation; markets-; water-use; efficiency-; stream-flow; mathematical-models; demand-; right-of-access Abstract: Most of the effort being expended to revise western water policy concerns the maintenance of instream waters to the exclusion of traditional diversionary interests. Absent from the economics literature is a theoretical treatment addressing the interface between diversionary and instream water uses. At issue is the potential for refining market operations to accomplish efficient allocation in the presence of both diversionary and instream uses. Optimization methods are employed to examine this issue in a highly generalized framework. If a specific structure is adopted, markets and other incentive-based policies are demonstrated to be capable of efficient water allocation.

Descriptors: groundwater-; legal-rights; private-ownership; property-; social-welfare; dynamic-programming; dynamic-models; california-; madera-county,-california Abstract: We compare the social welfare of pumping groundwater under central (optimal) control to that obtained under a private property rights regime in which firms are granted tradeable permits to the in situ groundwater stock. When firms are risk averse, both regimes are suboptimal, and the matter of which regime yields greater welfare is an empirical one. When firms are risk neutral, central control dominates the private property rights regime. Still, a stochastic dynamic programming model of Madera County, California, demonstrates that even in this case, the private property rights regime is a promising alternative to central control.

Descriptors: water-use; water-policy; markets-; commodities-; market-prices; econometrics-; new-mexico; regional-water-markets; gila-san-francisco-basin Abstract: The growing interest in water market transactions among policymakers and water users has created a need for understanding market price behavior and the heterogeneous nature of water rights. This article analyzes characteristics of markets, water rights, and water transactions to identify attributes which affect market values and price dispersion within regional markets. Based on econometric analysis of market data, water commodity and transaction characteristics are shown to be significantly related to market prices. Price dispersion that is unexplained by commodity attributes is related to characteristics of the regional market, including the number and size distribution of potential traders, costs of obtaining market information, and heterogeneity of water commodities traded.
