Water Resources Systems Planning and Management: An Introduction to Methods, Models and Applications
This 2005 version has been superseded by the 2017 edition, available in full here: http://hdl.handle.net/1813/48159Throughout history much of the world has witnessed
ever-greater demands for reliable, high-quality and
inexpensive water supplies for domestic consumption,
agriculture and industry. In recent decades there have
also been increasing demands for hydrological regimes
that support healthy and diverse ecosystems, provide for
water-based recreational activities, reduce if not prevent
floods and droughts, and in some cases, provide for the
production of hydropower and ensure water levels adequate
for ship navigation. Water managers are challenged
to meet these multiple and often conflicting demands. At
the same time, public stakeholder interest groups have
shown an increasing desire to take part in the water
resources development and management decision making
process. Added to all these management challenges
are the uncertainties of natural water supplies and
demands due to changes in our climate, changes in
people's standards of living, changes in watershed land
uses and changes in technology. How can managers
develop, or redevelop and restore, and then manage water
resources systems - systems ranging from small watersheds
to those encompassing large river basins and coastal
zones - in a way that meets society's changing objectives
and goals? In other words, how can water resources
systems become more integrated and sustainable
No one saw this coming. Understanding financial crisis through accounting models
This paper presents evidence that accounting (or flow-of-fund) macroeconomic models helped anticipate the credit crisis and economic recession. Equilibrium models ubiquitous in mainstream policy and research did not. This study identifies core differences, traces their intellectual pedigrees, and includes case studies of both types of models. It so provides constructive recommendations on revising methods of financial stability assessment. Overall, the paper is a plea for research into the link between accounting concepts and practices and macro economic outcomes
