What others are saying...

  • Thank you very much for this very nice post. Have been reading your other write ups which were a lot ‘rougher’ and wasn’t sure what you would report………relief at last
  • I am a very small person before you, you have humbled me. What a great effort you have put in David in designing your notes, your slides, your PDFs, your youtube lectures... your efforts par excellence. God bless you immensely. I just admire you keeping both my hands up in the air. I have no words to praise you, but I just have feelings not in my mind, but in my heart!
  • David Zetland is Brash, Outspoken and Unapologetic... and He’s Usually Right.
  • One of the most interesting, opinionated and committed bloggers around, David Zetland, pours forth in this blog about water, market-based solutions and a whole lot more. A high-intensity read.
  • doesn't look like you have a ton of pageviews, and your blog has been around awhile. How did you get a book offer, and it looks like Forbes columns, out of a small blog like that?
  • Learn about the way water works from an economic perspective. The posts are concise and to-the-point, making it a great read for newcomers to the topic.
  • I love when David Zetland makes my job easier.
  • My only complaint is the challenge of keeping up with David’s content. If you’ve ever met David this wouldn’t come as a surprise. Great stuff, but man does it come fast. David will post 4 – info filled – posts in a day; I’m lucky to post 4 in a month and one of them will be about drinking beer, eating pizza, and reading blogs.
  • David Zetland (at aguanomics) who, besides asking questions with obvious answers, thinks posts about cow farts cheapen his blog.
  • David Zetland's aguanomics blog is excellent. This morning he changed his mind on the peripheral canal.
  • Yesterday I linked to David Zetland's piece in Forbes arguing that residential water ought to be priced to better reflect genuine supply and demand. Sure, I replied, but how about agricultural water too?
