Water and Related Land Resources Management Study. Volume VIII. Institutional Arrangements
Author: ARMY ENGINEER DISTRICT OMAHA NEBR.
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
Institutional analysis is a planning procedure developed and adopted by the Corps of Engineers. The procedure consists of three basic steps: an in-depth study of the organizational structure, legal authorities, financial capabilities, and political interdependencies of the institutions in the study area; and analysis of the capabilities of the institutions to plan for and accomplish urban growth, rural development, water supply and wastewater facilities construction, recreational facilities construction, land use control, and the operation and maintenance of facilities; and the development and recommendation of alternative institutional arrangements necessary to implement technical alternatives for the study area. Institutional analysis is an integral part of the Corps' urban study process. The urban study develops alternate ways to solve water and water related problems in the study area. Through institutional analysis, the urban study: determines whether the existing institutions can adopt and implement the recommended alternative solutions, or proposes changes to laws, regulations, and organizations which will enable local decisionmakers to implement the alternatives.

The Evolution of Water Resource Planning and Decision Making
Author: Clifford S. Russell
Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
ISBN: 1848449364
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
This broad review of the development of US water resource policy analysis and practice offers perspectives from several disciplines: law, economics, engineering, ecology and political science. While the historical context provided goes back to the early 19th century, the book concentrates on the past 60 years and features a discussion of the difficulty that has generally been encountered in bringing the disciplines of economics and ecology into collaboration in the water resource context. The book explores the evolution of water related analytical capabilities and institutions and provides illustrations from case studies, concluding with recommendations for research, institutional change and action. Though designed to be a background textbook for interdisciplinary graduate seminars in water resources planning and management, it is accessible to interested lay readers and those who have policymaking or implementation responsibility but lack a technical background. The book will appeal to students and faculty in water policy, economics, and engineering, and in interdisciplinary programs organized around water resource problems and questions. Policy makers and general readers will also appreciate this non-technical introduction.

The Institutional Economics of Water
Author: R. Maria Saleth
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 9780821356562
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
This publication examines issues of water sector reform and performance from the perspectives of institutional economics and political economic studies. The authors develop an alternative quantitative assessment methodology based on the principle of 'institutional ecology', as well as data collected from 127 water experts from 43 countries and regions around the world using a cross-country review of recent water sector reforms within an institutional transaction cost framework.

Reforming Institutions in Water Resource Management
Author: Lin Crase
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136573933
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 377
Book Description
As water scarcities increase, nations throughout the world are in search of better institutions to manage water resources. India has been making substantial efforts to develop its water management systems since independence and significant increases in irrigated agriculture have taken place through both public and private initiatives. However, scarcities are increasing and major problems presently confront the management of water resources and irrigated agriculture. Resolving these problems is crucial for the future. The main purpose of this book is to provide a new approach for the analysis and design of water institutions that govern the use and development of water resources, particularly for agriculture which is the largest user. Drawing on the theory of New Institutional Economics and comparisons with Australia (as a developed country) and other less developed nations in Africa and Asia, the authors present original empirical data from three Indian states. Detailed analysis of these data is used to identify and recommend attributes and features of water management institutions that are conducive to effective resource management, its long-term success, and its best contribution to development.

Integrated Water Resources Management: A Systems Perspective of Water Governance and Hydrological Conditions
Author: Adey NIgatu Mersha
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000481263
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 127
Book Description
This thesis presents analysis of the status of IWRM implementation along with the challenges with regards to policy and institutional measures as well as the required basin information and management instruments. The research entailed a detailed analysis of water resources systems based on a case study from the Awash River Basin in Ethiopia, covering the historical and present state of the challenges and gaps in policies, institutional arrangements and management instruments. The status quo of practical water management, implications of plausible management alternatives in terms of their impact to future water availability, demand fulfilment, patterns of use, and sustainability of the environment were examined. Moreover, the interlinkages and dynamics between key water dependent resources sectors, broadly categorized into water, energy, food, and ecosystems (WEFE) was explored to identify key tradeoffs and synergies. This was deliberated as to improving the synchronization of sectoral plans and resources management programs, thereby fast-tracking the coordination process in IWRM. Overall, the research provides a clearer understanding of the system-wide problems, structural challenges and possible future consequences regarding the management and sustainability of the entire water resource system. Ultimately the purpose is to set in motion new strategies and mechanisms to improve the implementation of the currently applied IWRM framework in the context of the SDGs.
