Phase-in of nonpoint sources in a transferable discharge permit system for water quality management: Setting permit prices

Article Abstract:

The composite market design is a proposal for a transferable discharge permit system that specifically includes agricultural non-point source discharges and addresses both property rights and transactions cost problem. The estimation is performed by combining cost with modeled loss reductions from selected best management practices and then using this information to estimate the supply curve for abetment, which in turn can then be used to set permit prices.

International river basin management under the EU Water Framework Directive: An assessment of cooperation and water quality in the Baltic Sea Drainage Basin

Article Abstract:

An assessment of international cooperation and water quality in 14 international river basins in the Baltic Sea Drainage Basic is presented. Results indicate that the Water Framework Directive is a push forward for international river basic management in the region but it is also found that the principle of river basin management is hard to implement in river basins shared between European Union (EU) Member States and Countries outside the EU.
