This paper reports on the validity of these claims by applying a computable general equilibrium model to analyze the triple dividend of water consumption charges in South Africa: reduced water use, more rapid economic growth, and a more equal income distribution. It is shown that an appropriate ...
Triple dividends of water consumption charges in South Africa The South African government is exploring ways to address water scarcity problems by introducing a water resource management charge on the quantity of wate... A Letsoalo,J Blignaut,TD Wet,... - 《Water Resources Research》 被引量:...
In Spain, the country’s national hydrological plan is one of the most ambitious dam projects ever undertaken, and in the UK new reservoirs (such as the Upper Thames Reservoir) are being built to support new urban housing developments. Meanwhile in Australia some states (e.g., New South ...
We took the average population projections from the framework’s five global world regions, Asia (ASIA), Latin America (LAM), the Middle East and Africa (MAF), the OECD countries (OECD), and countries from reforming economies of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union (REF). In all ...
The General Office of the State Council (GOSC) limited the production, sale, and use of plastic shopping bags; banned ultrathin plastic bags (b 0.025 mm), and implemented charges for the use of other plastic bags in market places beginning on June 1, 2008 (GOSC 2007a). Also, the GO...
The full Pacific Institute Water Conflict Chronology, updated for 2010–2012, appears below. A summary of recent events is provided in Water Brief 3 in this volume. As noted in volume 7 of The World’s Water, a detailed, interactive online database now..
Key to understanding these diverse pre-earthquake phenomena has been the discovery that, when tectonic stresses build up in the Earth's crust, highly mobile electronic charge carriers are activated. These charge carriers are defect electrons on the oxygen anion sublattice of silicate minerals, known...
