Recensioner i media

‘A very well written book that helps readers understand the issues framing relevant theories and practice. Most chapters provoke further thoughts about the issues. Practical applications make the book relevant for non-specialists as does the understandable, less technical language. One can learn much about water economics and policy problems in this relatively short book.’
