This 9-page fact sheet written by Tatiana Borisova, Xiang Bi, Tara Wade, and Kurt Oehlbeck and published by the UF/IFAS Food and Resource Economics Department explores the relationship between water quality and sale prices of waterfront properties, that is, the amenity value provided by water resources to waterfront communities. Being near to water to water generally increases the value of a residential property. However, poor water quality may decrease waterfront property prices. In other words, investments in restoring water quality can translate into increases in property value and tax collection. https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fe1062 This paper is a part of a series “Economic Value of Florida Water Resources”.

Abstract The decisions of buyers on the housing market are not only the sum of their subjective expectations but also of the perception of real estate through a prism of opinions and suggestions arising from the surroundings. One of the basic criteria driving households determined to meet basic housing needs is security. The aim of the study is to identify the relationship between the transaction prices of housing and the crime rate in the various districts of Szczecin. For this purpose, data from the Regional Police Headquarters in Szczecin (i.e. map of crimes) and transactional data from notarial acts are analyzed in the work. Then, using statistical and econometric models, spatial relationships of the examined crimes are investigated.

Em vários países o preço da água pode e melhorou quantitativa e qualitativamente a distribuição deste recurso. O preço adequado e bem utilizado levou a uma melhor sustentabilidade e conservação da água por meio de regulamentos prescritivos, incluindo até o racionamento de água. O uso de preços para gerenciar a demanda de água é mais econômico do que a implementação de programas de conservação sem preços. No Brasil, através de instrumentos legais, é prevista a cobrança pelo uso dos recursos hídricos, sinalizando pela necessidade do reconhecimento do valor econômico da água associado ao seu uso, ao desenvolvimento sustentável mediante aos desafios da escassez hídrica futura. Para que a cobrança pelo uso da água não se torne um mero mecanismo de arrecadação pública, e devido também, a inexistência de estudos que investiguem e expressem de forma clara os objetivos e finalidades da cobrança em Minas Gerais, esta pesquisa se fez necessária. Desta forma, este trabalho objetivou investigar e avaliar a cobrança pelo uso da água e sua eficácia na melhoria do Índice de Qualidade da Água (IQA) estabelecida pelo órgão gestor. Em Minas Gerais, de 91,67% das Unidades de Planejamento e Gestão de Recursos Hídricos (UPGRHs), onde existe a cobrança instituída, não se constatou uma tendência na melhoria do IQA. Apenas 36,36% das bacias estaduais que cobram pelo uso da água melhoraram os níveis de IQA, enquanto 63,63% pioraram ou não tiveram variação significativa.  Charging Effectiveness for the Use of Water Resources conditioned to the Water Quality Index: Case Study, Minas Gerais, Brazil A B S T R A C TIn several countries the price of water can and has improved quantitatively and qualitatively the distribution of the resource. The appropriate and well-used price has led to better sustainability and conservation of water through prescriptive regulations, including even water rationing. Using prices to manage water demand is more economical than implementing price-free conservation programs. In Brazil, through legal instruments, charging for the use of water resources is foreseen, signaling mainly the need to recognize the economic value of water associated with its use, sustainable development through the challenges of future water scarcity. So that, charging for the use of water does not become a mere mechanism for public collection, and also due to the lack of studies that investigate and clearly express the objectives and purposes of charging in Minas Gerais state, this research was necessary. Thus, this study aimed to investigate and evaluate the charge for water use and its effectiveness in improving the Water Quality Index (WQI) established by the managing body. In Minas Gerais, of 91.67% of the Water Resources Planning and Management Units (UPGRHs), where the collection is in place, there was no trend in improving the IQA. Only 36.36% of the state basins that charge for the use of water improved the levels of IQA, while 63.63% worsened or had no significant variation.Keywords: Water scarcity. Water availability.

Dentre os instrumentos de gestão de recursos hídricos previstos pela Política Nacional de Recursos Hídricos, Lei 9433/97, a outorga de direito de uso de recursos hídricos objetiva assegurar o controle quantitativo e qualitativo dos usos da água. A outorga com objetivos de diluição de efluentes impacta diretamente nas características qualitativas do curso d'água, podendo afetar os múltiplos usos das águas e usuários. Além disso, trata-se de uma modalidade de outorga relativamente recente e pouco aplicada nas bacias hidrográficas do estado de Minas Gerais. Deste modo, esse trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a relação entre a qualidade das águas no trecho alto da bacia do médio Rio das Velhas e outorgas superficiais emitidas. A espacialização da variável da Demanda Bioquímica de Oxigênio (DBO), considerada para análise de qualidade das águas, foi feita por interpolação utilizando o método Ponderação do Inverso da Distância (IDW), sendo que, para os pontos de outorgas vigentes, utilizou-se a ferramenta densidade de Kernel. A relação da qualidade e quantidade das águas foi realizada por meio da elaboração de uma matriz de atribuição, visando a criação de diversos cenários a partir da suposição de pesos para as referidas variáveis. Os resultados demonstram que em locais com mais concessões de outorga (região metropolitana de Belo Horizonte e município de Sete Lagoas) apresentam piores níveis de qualidade das águas, demonstrando situações de exploração intensiva dos recursos hídricos e consequentemente, áreas potencias de conflitos entre usos e usuários na bacia.Palavras–chave: Gerenciamento de recursos hídricos, qualidade das águas, outorga, Rio das Velhas.Abstract Among the instruments for managing water resources provided for by the National Water Resources Policy, Law 9433/97, the granting of the right to use water resources aims at ensuring the quantitative and qualitative control of water uses. The granting of permits with effluent dilution objectives interferes more significantly in the qualitative characteristics of the watercourse, affecting water availability within sectors for various uses and users. In addition, it is a modality of granting that has not yet been applied in the hydrographic basins of the state of Minas Gerais. Thus, this work aims to analyze the relationship between water quality in the high section of the Rio das Velhas mid basin and surface allowances emitted. The spatialization of the Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), considered for water quality analysis was made by interpolation, while the kernel density tool was used for the current grant points. The relation of the quality and quantity of the waters was accomplished by means of the elaboration of an attribution matrix, that helped in the creation of diverse scenarios from the supposition of weights for each one. The results show that in places with more concession concessions (metropolitan area of Belo Horizonte and municipality of Sete Lagoas) they present worse levels of water quality, demonstrating situations of intensive exploration of water resources and consequently, potential areas of conflicts between uses and users in the basin.Keywords: Management of water resources, water quality, granting of permits for water use, Rio das Velhas.

The increasing population every year and the rapid economic development in Semarang City caused environmental problems related to the water resources used. One of the impacts of environmental problems is the lowering water quality of the Banjir Kanal Timur (BKT) Watershed. The study aims to identify the potential and conditions of the BKT watershed, and river segmentation as a basis for determining representative monitoring points that are used to determine the capacity that is adjusted to the description of river water segmentation class. The methods were descriptive and quantitative analysis approach based on the observation and measurement in the field campaign as well as the laboratory analysis. In addition, this research was also compiling the QUAL2E modeling to determine estimation of contamination load and capacity of contamination of Banjir Kanal Timur. The results conducted that the BKT has poor water quality based on the parameters of DO, BOD, and fecal coliform, while for the NO3 and NO2 parameters indicate good water quality. Segment that has load capacity of BOD contamination is segment 1. Segments that have load capacity of Nitrite (NO2) and Nitrate (NO3) contents are segment 1 to segment 4. The segment which has load capacity of contamination of fecal coliform is segment 2. Thus, Segment 1 can be classified into second class while segment 2 goes into third class. Furthermore, segment 3 and 4 are into fourth class respectively.

AbstractThis paper analyses the local geography of the relationship between residential property prices and its determinants. A semiparametric geographically weighted regression (S-GWR) technique is employed to explore this relationship. Selling prices, structural and locational attributes data were collected from the database of the Department of Valuation and Services of Malaysia, selected maps and reports. The outcome of this paper shows a strong geographically varying relationship between residential property prices and its determinants in which the residential property price determinants have a positive impact on prices in some areas but negative or no impact on the others. The magnitude of the effect is also found to be geographically varied; the capitalisation in residential property prices is found greater in some areas but less or with no effect in some other parts of the areas. The use of S-GWR technique makes it possible to reveal such geographically varying relationships, thus leading to a better understanding of the relationship between residential property prices and its determinants.
