This book was released on 2007-06-30 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent studies of past climate and streamflow conditions have broadened understanding of long-term water availability in the Colorado River, revealing many periods when streamflow was lower than at any time in the past 100 years of recorded flows. That information, along with two important trends-a rapid increase in urban populations in the West and significant climate warming in the region-will require that water managers prepare for possible reductions in water supplies that cannot be fully averted through traditional means. Colorado River Basin Water Management assesses existing scientific information, including temperature and streamflow records, tree-ring based reconstructions, and climate model projections, and how it relates to Colorado River water supplies and demands, water management, and drought preparedness. The book concludes that successful adjustments to new conditions will entail strong and sustained cooperation among the seven Colorado River basin states and recommends conducting a comprehensive basinwide study of urban water practices that can be used to help improve planning for future droughts and water shortages.

Download or read book Urban Water Supply written by Jack Hirshleifer and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The WATER SUPPLY volume discerned a consistent pattern of under-pricing and over-building. Rational reallocation of existing supplies, such as would occur if prices were raised in response to scarcity, is almost never even considered as an alternative to new construction. There are several reasons, aside from the electoral attractiveness of water projects. (1) Politically determined prices are inflexible. New York, for example, has not modified its price schedule since 1933. (Of course, had the city attempted to do something about prices in the 1965 shortage they would have run into conflict with the CEA 'guide-lines'). (2) A higher-order political rigidity makes it commonly impossible for one water jurisdiction to sell title or rights to another -- hence an incentive to rush into construction to nail down the supplies involved. (3) Certain errors in economic reasoning have played a role: Ignorance of the marginal principle, double-counting of benefits, the use of inappropriately low discount rates, etc. But these analytical errors have had much less practical significance than what might be called the non-analytical error. This is the belief, usually quite unconscious, that there are 'needs' or 'requirements' for water rather than economic demands.

Book excerpt: “Wonderfully written…Mr. Owen writes about water, but in these polarized times the lessons he shares spill into other arenas. The world of water rights and wrongs along the Colorado River offers hope for other problems.” —Wall Street Journal An eye-opening account of where our water comes from and where it all goes. The Colorado River is an essential resource for a surprisingly large part of the United States, and every gallon that flows down it is owned or claimed by someone. David Owen traces all that water from the Colorado’s headwaters to its parched terminus, once a verdant wetland but now a million-acre desert. He takes readers on an adventure downriver, along a labyrinth of waterways, reservoirs, power plants, farms, fracking sites, ghost towns, and RV parks, to the spot near the U.S.–Mexico border where the river runs dry. Water problems in the western United States can seem tantalizingly easy to solve: just turn off the fountains at the Bellagio, stop selling hay to China, ban golf, cut down the almond trees, and kill all the lawyers. But a closer look reveals a vast man-made ecosystem that is far more complex and more interesting than the headlines let on. The story Owen tells in Where the Water Goes is crucial to our future: how a patchwork of engineering marvels, byzantine legal agreements, aging infrastructure, and neighborly cooperation enables life to flourish in the desert—and the disastrous consequences we face when any part of this tenuous system fails.
