Abstract

This chapter reveals the problem of water allocation as a joint problem of hydrological interaction and externalities. The chapter describes the reason to use markets to allocate water. The chapter explains why most current methods of water allocation have a high transaction cost, and summarizes the problems that need to be solved to improve water allocation.
