Edna’s work has a continuing theme of cooperation and cost sharing in the management of environmental resources. She not only uses the traditional tools of benefit and cost measurement and comparison, but also studies institutions for community-based management. Specifically, she is interested in tools and methods for community participation in management for sustainable resource use. Her most recent work is on balancing water supply and demand for utilities and irrigation districts through water pricing. She has participated in a training program in Amman, Jordan for a USAID project (Skills Enhancement and Support to Decision-makers in Jordan’s Water Sector) and developed materials for Jordan pertaining to water marketing and pricing.
