Water valuation for economic development and climate planning

Frank A. Ward

International Journal of Water Resources Development, 2024, vol. 40, issue 6, 940-966

Abstract: This paper presents a multisector framework for solving the inverse problem from which results are applied to find marginal values of water under historical and counterfactual conditions. It infers from observed data on water use and production the parameters of an underlying multicommodity production function system. From the recovered production function parameters, marginal values of water are calculated over a range of hydrological and economic conditions. This work can inform policy debates over competing proposals for climate change adaptation based on identifying marginal values of water for irrigated agriculture over a range of existing and potential conditions.
