This book was released on 1993 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document reports some background information on the extent and severity of the 1987-91 California drought, evaluates existing work on the economic effects of the drought, and presents an agenda for future research to make an overall estimate of the economic costs of the drought in urban areas. It recommends a survey of urban water agencies to identify drought management policies and the resulting cutbacks in water use by various customer classes; to identify an estimate of economic losses incurred by residential customers using demand curve estimates or contingent valuation methodology; to identify contingent valuation surveys of commercial sectors hard-hit by the drought, such as nurseries and landscape contractors; and to identify a brief assessment of the industrial sector, which was mostly protected from cutbacks that would have resulted in lost output or jobs. This research was partially sponsored by California Urban Water Agencies, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization of 11 urban wholesale and retail water agencies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantifying drought's economic impacts has been key for decision-making to build future strategies and improve the development and implementation of proactive plans. However, climate change is changing drought frequency, intensity, and durability. These changes imply modifications of their economic impact, as longer droughts result in greater cumulative economic losses for water users. Though the longer the drought lasts, other factors also play a crucial role in its economic outcomes, such as Infrastructure capacity (IC), the Amount of Water in Storage (AWS) in reservoirs and aquifers, and short- and long-term responses to it. This study proposes and applies an analytical framework for the economic assessment of long-run droughts, assessing and explaining central Chile megadrought economic effects through the factors that begin to influence the economic impact level in this setting. High levels of both IC and the AWS, as well as short- and long-term responses of water users, allow for high resilience to long-run droughts, tolerating extraordinary water disruption in its society with relatively low total economic impacts. Despite this adaptability, long-term droughts bring places to a water-critical threshold where long-term adaptation strategies may be less flexible than short-term strategies, escalating the adverse economic effects. This fact suggests that the economic evaluation of megradrought needs to focus on future tipping points (substantial water scarcity). The tipping point depends on the IC, how water users manage the AWS, and adaptation strategies. Establishing the tipping point should be a priority for future interdisciplinary research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summarizing currently available information, this paper describes the main lines of economic evolution of the Sahel countries in recent years. The first section surveys the economic impact of the drought, classifying and describing briefly the various economic effects of drought. The second focuses on changes in income distribution caused by drought, inflation, and government policies. In a concluding section, a number of key policy issues suggested by the Sahel's recent economic experience are discussed.
Download or read book Economic Effects of Natural Disasters written by Taha Chaiechi and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2020-10-16 with total page 665 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic Effects of Natural Disasters explores how natural disasters affect sources of economic growth and development. Using theoretical econometrics and real-world data, and drawing on advances in climate change economics, the book shows scholars and researchers how to use various research methods and techniques to investigate and respond to natural disasters. No other book presents empirical frameworks for the evaluation of the quality of macroeconomic research practice with a focus on climate change and natural disasters. Because many of these subjects are so large, different regions of the world use different approaches, hence this resource presents tailored economic applications and evidence. Connects economic theories and empirical work in climate change to natural disaster research Shows how advances in climate change and natural disaster research can be implemented in micro- and macroeconomic simulation models Addresses structural changes in countries afflicted by climate change and natural disasters

This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little effort has been made to research the nonagricultural or economywide macroneconomic impact of droughts in Sub-Saharan Africa. In an effort to fill the gap, this paper reports the findings of an exploratory study of the subject. It provides insights into the impact of drought in Sub-Saharan Africa in the past and suggests policy options for dealing with future droughts.

This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding climatic impacts is important if we are to comprehend the relationship between climate and society. Weather phenomena can have environmental, economical, and social impacts. Drought is the natural hazard that affects people the most. It is also the most complex and least understood. There is no one universally accepted definition for drought which makes its examination difficult. Droughts' duration is also difficult to determine because it has no clearly defined onset and end. Also, drought varies both geographically and temporally making uniform drought monitoring difficult. Since drought is difficult to monitor and access, drought impacts are often poorly documented. The purpose of this research was to quantify (in dollars) the impacts of drought on Kentucky's agriculture. Drought has been recorded historically in Kentucky since the late 1800s. According to the Kentucky Climate Center, the most significant drought years occurred in 1930-31, 1940-42, and 1952-55. Analyses of these years are included as well as the most recent significant drought years in 1987-88, 1999-2000 and 2007.

Download or read book Abrupt Climate Change written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-04-23 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The climate record for the past 100,000 years clearly indicates that the climate system has undergone periodic-and often extreme-shifts, sometimes in as little as a decade or less. The causes of abrupt climate changes have not been clearly established, but the triggering of events is likely to be the result of multiple natural processes. Abrupt climate changes of the magnitude seen in the past would have far-reaching implications for human society and ecosystems, including major impacts on energy consumption and water supply demands. Could such a change happen again? Are human activities exacerbating the likelihood of abrupt climate change? What are the potential societal consequences of such a change? Abrupt Climate Change: Inevitable Surprises looks at the current scientific evidence and theoretical understanding to describe what is currently known about abrupt climate change, including patterns and magnitudes, mechanisms, and probability of occurrence. It identifies critical knowledge gaps concerning the potential for future abrupt changes, including those aspects of change most important to society and economies, and outlines a research strategy to close those gaps. Based on the best and most current research available, this book surveys the history of climate change and makes a series of specific recommendations for the future.
Download or read book Economic Impacts of Drought on Agriculture written by Jaroslav Mysiak and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water security features prominently among the grand challenges of humanity in a quest for sustainable future. Southern European countries, Italy in particular, are highly vulnerable to droughts. In this article we estimate the drought-related losses in agriculture in terms of reduced yield and output for the selected, most important crops; and social impacts of droughts in the Po River Basin District (PRBD). To do this we first explore the regional impact assessment techniques based on production data collected or estimated at provincial (NUTS3) and lower (agricultural region, RA) spatial scale and then use partial equilibrium approach to modelling drought impacts in terms of yield, net revenue and employment.
