Enviro-Economic Evaluation of Natural Water Resources: A Retrospect

Today, the threat to the environment is high on industrial agenda in many countries and there is every reason to believe that it will stay there for a long time to come, although local issues may still temporarily overshadow the long term impact on the environment as a result of human activity.

A central finding of all country studies confirm that economic policies and environmental trends are closely linked but often in the ways that have not been widely recognized. Since economic policies must be designed increasingly in terms of their sustainability. Environmental economics has been a considerable success in the sense of sustainability of natural resources that is probably the most important sense. So, it can be used as advanced technology to understanding our environmental problem: the way they arise, and the sorts of policies that can lead to desirable improvement.
