Global water crisis is a challenge to the security, political stability and environmental sustainability of developing nations and with climate, economically and politically, induces migrations also for the developed ones. Currently, the urban population is 54% with prospects that by the end of 2050 and 2100 66% and 80%, respectively, of the world's population will live in urban environment. Untreated water abstracted from polluted resources and destructed ecosystems as well as discharge of untreated waste water is the cause of health problems and death for millions around the globe. Competition for water is wide among agriculture, industry, power companies and recreational tourism as well as nature habitats. Climate changes are a major threat to the water resources. This book intends to provide the reader with a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art in integrated assessment of water resource management in the urbanizing world, which is a foundation to develop society with secure water availability, food market stability and ecosystem preservation.

Payments for Water-Related Ecosystem Services (PWES) are increasingly popular for promoting water ecological conservation, and their impact on development is of considerable interest. This study estimates the economic impact of PWES on protected areas using the synthetic control method. Taking the Middle Route of the South to North Water Diversion Project in China as a case study, we find that the per capita GDP in protected areas increased markedly relative to synthetic control regions, and PWES had a positive economic impact. Additionally, we conducted many placebo tests to verify the validity and robustness of the results. We believe that the main factor responsible for the positive effect lies in developing the ecological-economic industrial system. This study provides a baseline for synthetic control analysis of PWES to compare regions of interest with their counterfactuals. The case study findings provide reference for the economic development of protected areas.
