Review The authors of this worthwhile book should be commended for their thorough research of numerous aspects of water quantity, quality, economics and management of water resources, and modeling for water qualitydiscriminant pricing. ... this book is of interest to all concerned with water resources. ... a thorough, timely, and valuable contribution to the literature on water resources. From an academic perspective, this book would make an excellent supplemental text for an economics course on both the undergraduate and graduate levels.' Quarterly Bulletin of the Iranian Academic Association in North America, 3:12 (1998) Product Description The appearance of this Second Edition has been encouraged by the favorable reception of the first. This has offered us the opportunity to update the materials and to expand the exposition ofour central theses concerning (1) the integration of water quantityquality issues and the treatment of water as a multiproduct commodity, with the market playing a major role in determining water qualitydiscriminant pricing; (2) the drawbacks of public controls, regulation and enforcement, and the need to expand privatization of water supply and of water and wastewater treatment facilities to ensure their appropriate development and modernization through increased reliance on private capital; (3) the unification and centralization of water management on the river basin level in order to handle effectively the expanding pressures for water availability, for the elimination of waterborne disease, for extensive and effective pollution abatement as well as coping with the related issues of soil erosion, siltation in streams, channels, and reservoirs, protection against distress from drought and floods, and with the myriad problems relating to the environment, recreation, and navigation. We have maintained the division ofthe book into four major parts and 12 chapters.
