This book at the intersection of natural sciences, economics, and water engineering aims to reduce the gaps between economic theory, natural sciences, and engineering practice. Based on an extended thermodynamic approach, the authors explain which economic assumptions are acceptable for constructing a dynamic model that is consistent with the natural sciences. In particular, the special role of water in the production and reproduction activities will be considered as an integral component. Water is generated in a separate water treatment process and is used to transport the unavoidable...

Analyzes the aspects of environmental protection and the use of resources within a planning model. Explaining concepts of thermodynamics, this book employs the relationships between entropy, energy necessary for the extraction of a resource and the concentration of resource to establish a connection between the economic system and the environment.
