Today's episode is broken down into three parts: first, a brief primer on some of the issues contributing to the issues in California. Second, one potential hydrological solution going forward: groundwater recharge. And finally, we'll talk about water markets by highlighting the new Nasdaq Veles California Water Index. To help me tell each of these three stories I have for you three different guests that you'll hear from today: Dr. Safeeq Khan, Dr. Helen Dahlke, and Lance Coogan. You can also listen to previous episodes 159 with Dr. David Zetland, 161 with Adam Borchard, or 198 with Chris Peacock to get more information about these topics.
Dr. David Zetland discusses water markets and water economics. We learn that, instead of turning water into wine, our modern-day saviors must turn water into accountable behavior.
I am joined by Dr. David Zetland – David is a lecturer at Leiden University and an expert on the political economy of water management. We discuss the economics behind water management and how politics can get in the way. We discuss the economics and politics surrounding water charging throughout the British Isles and discuss the ongoing Irish water charge saga. David is a great speaker and this is a topic I really enjoyed. I’d recommend you check out David’s podcast called jive talking (https://soundcloud.com/jivetalking) where he discusses these topics and others in greater detail. David also has a book and other relevant online material that may be of interest: 1) The struggle for residential water metering in England and Wales https://www.kysq.org/pubs/Art9-1-6.pdf 2) David's book (free to D/L) Living with Water Scarcity https://www.kysq.org/lwws/ 3) Citizen regulators https://kysq.org/aguanomics/2014/07/do-you-trust-your-neighbors/Just a quick note to say thanks to the patrons.

Find out: if we should be worried more about a shortage of water or a scarcity of water. if we should learn from the oil industry and develop the technology-equivalent of extracting oil from oil sands and desalinate the ocean water? if we can tell whether we know the water footprint of a cow and if it’s different in California than Ireland. why water is actually free and what you pay is for the delivery. if there is an opportunity costs to acquiring water? why people living in the slums of India pay up to 50 times the price for water than those who have cheaper piped water. if a water monopoly is an effective market structure. if price competition in the market for water would result in the over-use of water consumption. about the water-diamond paradox. why David decided to do a PhD in economics after failing to get rich in the dotcom era. how David came to get his family name ‘Zetland’. about the coming ‘Water Wars’ and how it has already started. about Sao Paulo’s troubled water situation and how it’s creating water gang warfare on the streets. who we should assign the property rights to water. what David proposes to be the most effective way of managing water. how Singapore are becoming independent in creating their supply of water and are no longer depending on imports fro Malaysia. how Singapore are building technologies to recycle water from waste. why the ‘toilet-to-tap’ water recycling initiative has failed in the US but is working in Singapore. and much much more.
