The first, "Development Offsets", aims to develop a scheme of defined "offsets" to compensate for specific ecosystem impacts of rural development. The second, "Treading Salty Water or Trading Salt & Water", addresses the costs of dryland salinity with a proposed mechanism for tradeable property rights. The objective is to incorporate the broader scale impacts of salinity into individual landholder decision making.text/plainen-USIn CopyrightRural developmentGroundwaterPayments for environmental servicesSurface waterSalinizationLand use managementWater qualityDevelopment offsetsDryland salinityWater salinityMarket-Based Instruments (MBI)Abstract
