Abstract: This article deals with marketable permits applied to water protection from non-point source pollution (NPS) in rural areas. We explain the challenges that this pollution represents for public authorities before presenting the general principle of maketable permits applied to NPS pollution. We then expose two experiences encountered in the United States and we conclude by reviewing the main conditions to raise the probability of success of such public regulation, still in minority.
