Environmental Water Efficiency: Maximizing Benefits and Minimizing Costs of Environmental Water Use and Management
Historically, the focus has been: how much water does the environment need? Finding the “right” allocation of water between consumptive and environmental water uses is a question of allocative efficiency. However, once water is allocated to the environment, question becomes: how can we get the best outcomes from this water?
