Expo Zaragoza 2008, Thematic Week Seven: Water Economics and Financing - Water Markets - Financial Solutions for Emerging Countries
The objective of this Thematic Week is to disseminate the concept, advantages and drawbacks of
Water Markets as a tool to reorganize and efficiently use water resources. Furthermore, through
the works and debates organized during this thematic week, it is expected to enlighten rich
assessments using such water markets as a possible supplement for governmental water
management and as a tool for conflict mitigation or solution. Water Markets are based on voluntary
transference of water rights - usually with a previous economic deal or agreement - for new uses
and different users. Furthermore, during this thematic week the Spanish case on water economics
and specifically, on water markets, will be assessed and strong recommendations are expected.
Finally, a full day will be dedicated to water finances especially oriented to emerging countries
needs to realistically or sustainably finance infrastructure and management schemes.
