a system of water rights or quotas; input pricing as a percentage of the cost of certain input(s), e.g., seed; output pricing as a percentage of product sales. For the electricity services, the number of alternatives is larger, Borenstein [5] provides a review of the ways that can be used by the electric utilities to recover the fixed costs.

[2] The dam is capable of storing 43 billion litres of water over an area of 5.5 km 2 in an overall area of 23 km 2.
Desalination, which produces usable water from saline water, has a higher LCW than processing groundwater or surface water. A 2020 study found that advances in decarbonization would reduce the levelized cost of water produced via desalination from €2.4 per cubic meter in 2015 (US$2.84) to €1.05 per cubic meter in 2050 (US$1.24).
