The principle of transferable water rights is that by making water rights tradable in the market, water resources can be used more sustainably and efficiently. This book discusses transferable groundwater rights in their broader context. Based on a detailed review of international experiences, the author presents a critical assessment of whether water rights trading is the answer to sustainable groundwater management.
