Abstract: The standard Black-Scholes approach to option valuation becomes cumbersome and may fail to yield a solution when applied to non-standard options such as those emerging in water markets. An alternative tool, numerical quadrature, avoids some restrictive assumptions of the BlackScholes framework and can more easily price options with complex structures.
