#1: Water as a commodity - Manage water according to its use
In this debut episode of Tap’d In, hosts Jordan and Lana explore water management through an economic lens, drawing insights from David Zetland's Living with Water Scarcity. Water is categorized as a good, analyzed by its rivalrous and excludable properties to uncover optimal management strategies.
