Abstract:

This survey paper concentrates on what social science has to say about surface water quality management. Some comments are also made on the historical development of these analytical capabilities. The discussion is organized under three major questions: what should the institutional arrangements for surface water quality management look like; what level of surface water quality should society choose; and how should that choice be implemented?
