| Abstract | This paper presents an ex ante benefit-cost evaluation of the possible water transfer from irrigation agriculture in the state of Guanajuato to Lake Chapala. Benefits and costs are calculated using two models: a mathematical network flow and an economic model for agriculture water price determination. The benefits and costs are calculated considering the environmental and economic effects in agricultural production. The water stored in the water bank has two purposes: An environmental use while it remains stored and a potable use when it is sold to Guadalajara's water utility in order to complement the supply of water to this city. This paper is divided in four sections; the first one presents the theoretical and empirical antecedents that support this paper. The second part describes the benefits and costs involved in the analysis. The third section presents the evaluation results. Finally, the fourth section presents the conclusions. An annex describes the network flow model used to simulate the behavior of Lake Chapala. |
