      abstract = {Water pollution control has been a top environmental  policy priority of the worlds most developed countries for  decades, and the focus of significant regulation and public  and private spending. Yet, significant water quality  problems remain, and trends for some pollutants are in the  wrong direction. This book addresses the economics of water  pollution control and water pollution control policy in  agriculture, with an aim towards providing students,  environmental policy analysts, and other environmental  professionals with economic concepts and tools essential to  understanding the problem and crafting solutions that can  be effective and efficient. The book will also examine  existing policies and proposed reforms in the developed  world. Although this book addresses and has a general  applicability to major water pollutants from agriculture  (e.g., pesticides, pharmaceuticals, sediments, nutrients),  it will focus on the sediment and nutrient pollution  problem. The economic and scientific foundations for  pollution management are best developed for these  pollutants, and they are currently the top priorities of  policy makers. Accordingly, the authors provide both highly  salient and informative cases for developing concepts and  methods of general applicability, with high profile  examples such as the Chesapeake Bay, Lake Erie, and the  Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone in the US; the Baltic Sea in  Northern Europe; and Lake Taupo in New Zealand.},
