The Economics of Groundwater Remediation and Protection

Written by a hydrogeologist and an economist, this book integrates economics and cost-benefit analysis tools with optimal protection and remediation strategies for groundwater resources. The authors' step-by-step methodology for decision-making focuses on determining optimal remedial objectives, from containment to extensive cleanup, and the selection of least-cost alternatives. The book shows how economic analysis can be used to determine how much we should pay for groundwater clean-up. It is an excellent introduction to innovative solutions for funding remediation projects, such as mitigation banking, pollution credit schemes, and conservation credit alternatives.
