DESCRIPTION:PhD Oral Defense of Vijay Krishnan Kolinjivadi\, Department Of 
 Bioresource Engineering.\nInterest has grown significantly in advocating m
 arket-based policies for water resources management in response to: a) inc
 reasing global deterioration of watershed ecosystem services\, b) complex 
 and uncertain socio-economic and ecological drivers of land-use change in 
 a watershed setting\, and c) the need to respond to the criticism of an ‘i
 mplementation gap’ in achieving ‘Integrated Water Resource Management’ (IW
 RM).  Chief among these policy mechanisms has been ‘Payments for Ecosystem
  Services’ (PES) which are theoretically premised as a voluntary and condi
 tional transfer of incentives from ecosystem service beneficiaries to land
 -users to either improve the delivery of the identified ecosystem service(
 s) or more commonly to implement land-use practices which encourage those 
 services.\nThe current interest over PES mechanisms for natural resource m
 anagement has been advanced  by an argument of greater efficiency compared
  with preservationist ‘no touch’ policies or community-based conservation 
 initiatives which lack conditional obligations over land-use practices. Th
 e logic underpinning the economic valuation of ecosystem services in PES s
 chemes refers to the internalisation of social costs associated with the d
 egradation of ecological resources as new commodities for exchange within 
 the market system\, as the best arbiter of efficient decision-making.\nThi
 s research provides a critical conceptual and empirical analysis of PES un
 der the logic of market-based principles for advancing integrated and adap
 tive water resource management.\n\nEveryone in the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ community is wel
 come to attend a PhD oral defense. Please join us in celebrating the accom
 plishments of our PhD candidates.
