Abstract

From chapter one

During the past several years a lively and growing interest in water resources has developed in the United states. With the recognition that freshwater is, in fact, scarce, and no longer a free good, economists, geographers, engineers, planners, administrators, and others in all levels of the governmental and private spheres have shown a new or renewed interest in problems associated with water use. Alarming statements about actual impeding water shortages have caused particular concern with industrial water use in its aerial distribution. However, despite the importance of the problem, specifically in arid and semi-arid areas, only scattered attempts have been made to evaluate the effects of water on industrial location. This study attempts to systematically relate water as an industrial input to its importance in determining where industries locate.
