“…For a detailed analysis of supply chains of some commodities that are accounted in aggregated accounts in IOMs, hybrid IOMs that combine LCA with IOM have also been implemented (Treolar 1997;Lenzen 2002;Suh et al 2004;Suh and Huppes 2002). Using IOM-like models such as the Ghosh model, the economy-wide impacts of reduced water supplies have been traced through the affected production (and value-added) sectors (González 2011), albeit at an aggregated and national level that does not easily lend itself to the temporally variable nature of water resource dynamics.…”

1671985 2015 Working PapersThe publications in this series record the work and thinking of IWMI researchers, and knowledge that the Institute's scientific management feels is worthy of documenting. This series will ensure that scientific data and other information gathered or prepared as a part of the research work of the Institute are recorded and referenced. Working Papers could include project reports, case studies, conference or workshop proceedings, discussion papers or reports on progress of research, country-specific research reports, monographs, etc. Working Papers may be copublished, by IWMI and partner organizations.Although most of the reports are published by IWMI staff and their collaborators, we welcome contributions from others. Each report is reviewed internally by IWMI staff. The reports are published and distributed both in hard copy and electronically (www.iwmi.org) and where possible all data and analyses will be available as separate downloadable files. Reports may be copied freely and cited with due acknowledgment. About IWMIIWMI's mission is to provide evidence-based solutions to sustainably manage water and land resources for food security, people's livelihoods and the environment. IWMI works in partnership with governments, civil society and the private sector to develop scalable agricultural water management solutions that have a tangible impact on poverty reduction, food security and ecosystem health.

“…Unlike other Drought Management Plans that clearly specify the water restrictions to be applied for every sector under each drought threshold, the DRB Drought Management Plan offers a considerable degree of flexibility [36]. Therefore, this new regulation may have a different impact on regional GDP depending on the sectors affected by water restrictions [25]. Second, regarding water scarcity, the recently approved Duero River Basin Management Plan established a set of guidelines (potentially including economic instruments, command-and-control policies and technical alternatives) to restore environmental services that will likely demand a permanent restriction in water use in some productive activities [34].…”

Abstract:The failure in the past to acknowledge the limits of water supply and to decouple economic development from water demand has resulted in a water dependent growth model currently threatened by increasing scarcity and droughts. Consequently, there is now an urgent need to use sparse water resources in a more sustainable and efficient way. This demands a comprehensive understanding of water productivity and the linkages among economic sectors to illustrate the tradeoffs in water reallocations from productive sectors to priority uses (household and urban uses). This paper develops a methodology based on the Hypothetical Extraction Method to estimate inter-temporal direct and indirect water productivity. The method is applied to the Spanish region of Castile and León. Results confirm the existence of a relevant water productivity gap between the agriculture (the largest water consumer) and that of the other sectors, which are nonetheless largely dependent on the agricultural output (and thus, on agricultural water demand). Results also show that Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, say about 1%, results in an increase of indirect water productivity in the manufacturing blocks (0.49% and 0.38%), energy and water (0.39%) and service blocks (0.41%), providing evidence of the existence of a Verdoorn's Law for water.

“…While the farm scale is a typical case for agriculture, attention to agricultural systems is also important, and the basin scale has become a key scale of analysis in order to account for inter-sector connections, whilst maintaining a clear relationship with a meaningful hydrological unit. However, over time, the interconnections among economic activities and the emergence of global phenomena such as climate change have led to an increasing number of modelling exercises using even regional, national or global scales (see e.g., [15][16][17]). Different scales may yield completely different pictures due to interconnections among sectors, but also highlight the urgency for compensation and displacement effects.…”

This paper provides an overview of the special issue on "Water policy, productivity and economic efficiency". In particular, it includes an overview of key topics on the future of water as a productive factor, in the context of alternative uses and perspective scenarios. The selected papers cover a wide range of relevant economic issues and are presented in three categories: productivity assessment, institutional framework and mechanisms, and governance aspects. The paper concludes by discussing future research challenges in this field.
