Three essays on water resource management. - 142 p.

Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 67-05, Section: A, page: 1830.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Colorado at Boulder, 2006.

This dissertation consists of three papers which investigate the economics of water resource management at the river basin, regional, and municipal levels. Throughout much of the southwestern United States water is an extremely scarce resource. Unprecedented urban population growth combined with increased variability in supplies has created a need to better manage water supplies at all levels and to reallocate water to new uses.

520 $a This dissertation consists of three papers which investigate the economics of water resource management at the river basin, regional, and municipal levels. Throughout much of the southwestern United States water is an extremely scarce resource. Unprecedented urban population growth combined with increased variability in supplies has created a need to better manage water supplies at all levels and to reallocate water to new uses.
520 $a Forecasted population growth combined with droughts have provided the impetus for constructing new reservoirs, developing re-use facilities, and increased demand management. My first paper details the development of the South Platte Regional Assessment Tool (SPRAT); a socio-economic hydrologic model of the South Platte River basin in Colorado. The model predicts that widespread shortages can be expected without additional investment in infrastructure or policy changes beyond what is currently planned. Output from the model also suggests that, as a whole, agricultural users may benefit from projected population growth.
520 $a In my second paper I present an economic welfare analysis of price and non-price demand management tools under increasing block rate structures (IBR). IBR pricing sets a constant price within a block, but includes an upward jump in the price when consumption increases from one block to the next. In this paper I derive consumer responsiveness to changes in block price and block width, together with the imposition of quantity constraints. I then examine the welfare effects of such changes. A set of decision rules identifying which block(s) drought policies should target are presented.
520 $a The final paper studies how institutional arrangements and economic environments impact water markets. By analyzing water rights transfers across 3 markets, this paper demonstrates how different institutional arrangements can affect the types, size distributions, and economic impacts of such transfers. The results suggest that out-of-basin transfers involve much larger transaction costs resulting in a distribution of transfer sizes dominated by a few large, occasional transfers. The comparative impact analysis indicates that specialized, marginal agricultural regions are more likely to incur severe long-term economic and social losses.
