Discussion: Water Scarcity–Future Uses and Implications for Policy

David B. Willis

Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 2011, vol. 43, issue 3, 6

Abstract: The three articles presented at this invited session examine the evolution of water policy planning and the implementation of regulatory tools to achieve water conservation objectives. Two articles focus on Texas water issues and the third focuses on the Georgia planning experience. Each article clearly illustrates the value of sharing advances in hydrologic and economic modeling with local community stakeholder groups to facilitate the credible development of regional water management plans. Moreover, each article hints that stronger regulatory tools may be needed to achieve long-run policy objectives.
