Title: Rivers of gold
First published: 2000
Description: "The movement to implement market-based approaches to allocating water is gaining ground across California and in other western states. In Rivers of Gold, Brent M. Haddad explains water markets and the economic theory undergirding them. It is the first book to provide detailed case studies of water market transactions and the institutional design issues associated with them.

It will be essential reading for water resource professionals and resource economists, as well as for students and scholars of environmental policy, environmental economics, and resource economics."--BOOK JACKET.
