The optimal joint provision of water for irrigation and hydropower
Article Abstract:
The apparent inability of cooperative water supply organizations (WSOs) in the western United States to allot optimally water for irrigation and electricity production owes to an inability of these groups to state clear property rights to the scarce water resources. Efficient control of these groups is in the hands of farmer-members, who obtain benefits only as users and not as owners.
