What others are saying...

Just a little note to tell you how much I enjoy your blogs! You're like the John Stewart of water! :)
Yes! I DO use your stuff!
We were worried that you would need more supervision, but now people ask me at conferences "WUR? Are you in the same department as David Zetland?" Thanks for working with us. Here's a nice book :)
Most influential writing on California water: blog and book
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?
