Abstract
Fossil groundwater aquifers underlie many arid regions. This article is concerned with the economic viability of this resource as a long-term basis for the development of arid regions. The problem is analysed within the framework of natural resource economics, emphasizing aspects which are typical to the development of fossil groundwater aquifers. The case of the aquifer underlying the Arava valley in Israel is studied in depth.
