摘要

'Water stress' is the most recent buzzword used to describe the situation of mismatch between the demand for and the supply of water. It should be made clear at the outset that water stress is not the same water shortage, although it does manifest itself frequently in the situation of what appears to be a 'shortage of water'. Amartya Sen demonstrated two decades ago that famines are not usually caused by a 'shortage of food', but rather by a set of complex social, cultural, and economic relationships that determine the price of food. In a similar vein, understanding the causes of water stress, and to consequently formulate policy aimed at combating it, requires equally creative thinking. What should be the price of water in a wide range of circumstances? Since the notion of 'supply and demand' is perhaps the most fundamental of economic principles, it is hardly surprising that environmental economists (usually working in conjunction with colleagues from the physical sciences) have increasing been trying to analyze central environmental problems using relatively simple economic theory. Adopting this framework, water stress is basically a 'disequilibrium' between the supply of and demand for water. Therefore, policies that restore equilibrium in the market are required. This book demonstrates how very effective the economics approach to the problem of water stress can be.
