| Tiivistelmä: | It is uses simple hydro-economic optimization to investigate a wide range of regional water system management options for northern Baja California, Mexico. It is argues water management portfolios include water markets, waste water reuse, seawater desalination and infrastructure expansions. Water markets provide the flexibility to meet future urban demands; however conveyance capacity limits their use. Waste water reuse and conveyance expansions are economically promising. At current costs desalination is currently uneconomical for Baja California compared to other alternatives. Even simple hydro-economic models suggest ways to increase efficiency of water management in water scarce areas, and provide an economic basis for evaluating long-term water management solutions. |
