Description

INTRODUCTION The effect of water on economic growth is beyond emphasis. Economic growth rates are affected, among other things, by scarcity of water. Both water demand and supply, on the other hand, are also influenced by the level of production and other socio-economic variables. This interrelationship between economic variables and water scarcity has been neglected in econometric literature. The reason behind this negligence could be attributed to the fact that economic models were built in developed countries which do not face serious water shortage problems. However, in developing countries the situation is rather different. Water is the sine qua non of development and a critical issue not only in making decisions concerning agricultural investment but also in most socioeconomic factors.
