| Title | A Private Property Rights Regime to Replenish a Groundwater Aquifer |
|---|
| Comments | This article uses statistic modeling to predict the effects of a private property regime versus a state-regulatory one, for the maintenance of groundwater aquifers in Madera County. The model predicts that the private system will recover 95% of the potential gain from groundwater management. State regulatory systems, on the other hand, often do not act until the groundwater falls below a specified level, therefore missing out on maintenance opportunities. |
