Over the past two decades, scholars and policy makers have promoted the idea that water can be analyzed and managed according to the principles of economics. Yet, many policy prescriptions based on economic principles have struggled to deliver the results they intend. As such, scholars note the need for alternative approaches to understanding water economies, and many propose that embedded economic perspectives are able to give more holistic and locally grounded insights. In this article, I explain the embedded economic perspective, how it is different from a conventional economic perspective, and how the embedded economics of water makes important contributions to understanding water economies more broadly. I highlight three key areas of embedded economic insight on water derived from recent scholarship in economic anthropology: human meanings and values for water, nonmarket water exchanges, and diverse water economies. I conclude by discussing implications these insights have for interdisciplinary water scholarship.

水的内在经济学：经济人类学的见解

在过去的二十年中，学者和政策制定者提出了可以根据经济学原理对水进行分析和管理的思想。但是，许多基于经济原理的政策规定都在努力达到预期的效果。因此，学者指出有必要采用其他方法来理解水的经济状况，并且许多人提出，嵌入的经济观点能够提供更全面和本地化的见解。在本文中，我将解释嵌入式经济的观点，它与传统经济学的不同之处以及水的嵌入式经济学如何为更广泛地理解水经济做出重要贡献。我重点介绍了从经济人类学的最新研究成果中得出的关于水的嵌入式经济洞察力的三个关键领域：水资源，非市场用水交换和多样化水资源经济的人类意义和价值。最后，我将讨论这些见解对跨学科水研究的启示。
