Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This is an introductory level book for those primarily interested in the provision of urban water. Topics include pricing, supply cost, industrial use, subsidence, water markets, drinking water regulation, market regulation, finance, and water provider organization. Early chapters present the basic theory, using urban water examples, necessary for understanding the later chapters. Chapters deal with pricing, price analysis, supply cost, industrial use, subsidence, water markets, drinking water regulation, market regulation, finance, and water provider organization. Leading experts in subsidence, drinking water law and policy, water markets, industrial water demand, and water supply contributed chapters. The text provides a comprehensive survey of literature on local urban water provision and management that is found scattered over a wide variety of technical periodicals. Attention is paid to economic management and organization of urban water suppliers. Case studies of Arizona, United Kingdom, Houston Texas, and Israel are presented.
