Modelling Approach

Worldwide, coastal and marine ecosystems are affected by water pollution originating from coastal river catchments, even though ecosystems such as the Great Barrier Reef are vital from an environmental as well as an economic perspective. Improved management of coastal catchment resources is needed to remediate this serious and growing problem through, e.g. agricultural land use and management practice change. This may, however, be very costly and, consequently, there is a need to explore how water quality improvement can be achieved at least cost. In the present paper, we develop an environmental–economic modelling approach that integrates an agricultural production system simulation model and a catchment water quality model into a spatial environmental–economic land-use model to explore patterns of land use and management practice that most cost-effectively achieve specified water quality targets and, in turn, estimate corresponding water pollution abatement cost functions. In a case study of sediment and nutrient water pollution by the sugarcane and grazing industries in the Tully–Murray catchment (Queensland, Australia), it is shown that considerable improvements in water quality can be obtained at no additional cost, or even benefit, to the agricultural industry, whereas larger water quality improvements come at a significant cost to the agricultural industry.

Per Capita

There is a shortage of water resources in china. The amount of water per capita in china is only a quarter amount of the world average per capita. Meanwhile, the water pollution here is very serious. In our country, the economic cost caused by the water pollution is about 40 billion per year. The water pollution accidents have a big influence on the local economic development and the health of people. At the same time, Audit institutions, because of their unique professional advantages, can play a very important role in environmental protection. Thus, Water Environmental Audit is developing gradually acted as a sustained and effective managerial instrument to inspect and supervise the environmental economic activities.
