Abstract

An economically efficient, nonpoint pollution control strategy for a multijurisdictional 208 area may result in a benefit-cost distribution that will prohibit its acceptance. Vesting financial authorities in a regional water quality management agency would allow for implementation of a local compensation scheme designed to facilitate acceptance. Such a scheme would involve raising revenues from water quality beneficiaries that would, in turn, be paid as inducements for implementation of nonpoint control practices. These propositions are first defended with a theoretical argument. Then a linear programming model is applied for an empirical case analysis.
