Business Case for Green Water Credits

Abstract

There is much wringing of hands about land degradation, water scarcity and climate change but not much effective action. One reason is a lack of acceptable mechanisms for translating the science into action. In the case of water scarcity, there is a missing level (at least one) between the top level (``Fix the water problem'') and the information-gathering level (``What is the mechanism of water delivery and water scarcity?''). Typically, there is no one and no effective institution translating the scientific information into action.
