Water Resources Management And The Choice Of Technology

Author

Listed:
  • BLAIR T. BOWER

Abstract

Asserting that the major problem in water resources management stems not so much from a lack of alternative technologies as from a failure to make a choice which is appropriate to the several factors involved, the author addresses himself to these factors and to the criteria which should be applied in the decision‐making process. Particular attention is devoted to a consideration of the incentives, and of the institutional, infra‐structural, analytical and policy measures required to facilitate the adoption of ‘socially optimal’ technology, including the relationship of these measures to the promotion of effective water resources management technology within the broader economic, social and cultural situations specific to each country.
