Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This is a research project that tries to incorporate aspects of social science into global scale water resources assessment which has been carried out by natural scientists. A major outcome is as follows. We were able to present the global distribution of potential areas where water markets could be instituted by analyzing 296 water laws. This was realized by taking into account a set of three provisions in a legal sense. In addition, we investigated a few more globally distributed conditions. Another output in this research as a basic development of necessary technology for this objective is a development of an advanced satellite remote sensing technology to grasp water crisis. In addition, some studies on economics of global water resources were carried out.
