摘要

As the four articles illustrate, a great deal more work is needed to improve the water institutions and institutional arrangements in the U.S. and other countries facing serious water problems. Hearne discusses how Mexico has gradually moved to establish water use rights, improve coordination of river basin activities and turn over local water management to users. Other countries should study Mexico's changes to see which ones might work in their own countries. The difficulty of establishing water rights, particularly for groundwater, is made clear by both Livingston and Garrido and by Orr and Colby. In addition, Frisvold illustrates how changes in water institutions have to be considered within the context of existing agricultural policies. Since much of a country's water, in arid and semiarid areas, is used in agriculture, agricultural policy changes can make or break carefully crafted institutional changes in the water resources sector. Finally, the question of developing institutions and institutional arrangements for international waters (which is covered in another special section) is very difficult politically. Many of the international agencies shy away from doing anything serious in this area for both political and budgetary reasons since large side payments may be necessary to achieve binding agreements. This is where researchers need to step in and work with policy makers to help develop institutional arrangements that will ease these political and budgetary constraints and make improved management of international water a reality.
