Challenges and Opportunities for Emerging Groundwater Markets (PowerPoint)

Summary: • Stream depletion is the primary driver of changes in groundwater management • Binding pumping constraints with monitoring and enforcement are feasible • Nascent groundwater trading systems exist worldwide • Trading systems offer increased profits to producers and resource conservation benefits • There is mismatch between current economic research on groundwater management and applied needs

摘要：• 溪流枯竭（Stream depletion）是地下水管理变革的主要驱动力 • 结合监测与执行的约束性抽水限制（Binding pumping constraints）具有可行性 • 新兴的地下水交易系统（Nascent groundwater trading systems）已在全球范围内存在 • 交易系统可为生产者带来更高利润，并具有资源保护效益 • 当前地下水管理的经济研究与实际应用需求之间存在脱节
