Water Policy, Tourism, and Recreation: Lessons from Australia
View BookFrom the publisher:
This book explores the complicated interrelationships between freshwater resources and tourism and recreation. The focus is on Australia, but comparisons with the experience of other countries are also made throughout. The authors examine in detail the relationships between water economics and supply, and the needs for tourism and recreation. The book considers the institutional arrangements around water and the significance of property rights, including water markets and water pricing. Theoretical and practical models for increasing collaboration and cooperation such as the use of trusts are also developed and there is wider applicability to, for example, water trusts in the USA.
