This book was released on 2006 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, raising capacity in water resources management entails supporting stakeholders and decision-makers to reach a common understanding on the priorities and necessary arrangements for sharing and allocating water-related goods and services. Valuation is central to this process, as setting priorities and making choices implies valuing certain uses and arrangements above others. Water valuation can help stakeholders to express the values that water-related goods and services represent to them. It also offers a means for conflict resolution and planning, informing stakeholders, supporting communication, and facilitating joint decision-making on priorities and specific actions. This report confronts concepts from the literature on water valuation with practical experiences from three local cases where an effort was made to embed existing valuation tools and methods in ongoing water resources management processes. It uses the lessons from this exploration to provide a first outline for a stakeholder-oriented water valuation process. This is expected to provide a useful starting point to help water professionals and policy-makers improve the use of water valuation as a means to support participatory processes of water resources management.

This book was released on 2012-05-23 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume of the TEEB (The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity) publication series, the key concepts of the project are applied to local and regional policy and public management. The aim is to show that by taking nature's benefits into account, decision makers can promote local development to ensure human well-being and economic growth and stability, while maintaining environmental sustainability. The book explores the potential for local development provided by an approach based on nature. It offers examples of successful implementation of this approach from across the world, highlighting the importance of local decision making in management and planning. It provides tools and practical guidance for reform, and throughout the volume the economic benefits of environmental consideration at a local level are expounded. This book is intended to offer inspiration and practical suggestions for the improvement and sustainable management of the environment and human well-being. The local aspect of this book complements the focus of the previous three volumes, completing the set to provide a comprehensive approach to simultaneously improving and maintaining economic and environmental stability, as well as human well-being.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been acknowledged that conservation planners miss out on great opportunities to achieve more efficient objectives when not integrating rigorous economic analysis in their modeling. This thesis presents economic modeling and research methods that not only provide critical information for conservation planning, but also for conservation policy analysis. Using the Delta Agricultural Production (DAP) model, I simulate a spatially differentiated greenhouse gas offset market for wetlands on agricultural lands in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta in California, United States. I also derive a Delta wetland pseudo-supply function based on payments in addition to the simulated offset market. The DAP is a regional agricultural production and economic optimization model that simulates farmer's decisions based on actual observations in the Delta. Results reveal that current greenhouse gas offset prices are not high enough to incentivize farmers to convert any current crop acreage into wetlands, but additional payments will induce this conversion. These results can be used to identify the quantity, location, and costs of potential wetlands on agricultural landscapes in the Delta. In this thesis I also quantify the values of ecosystem services that Delta wetlands provide through nutrients reduction and recreation opportunities, by drawing on estimates from the published literature. The avoided treatment costs estimate of reducing nitrogen and phosphorus is $125 per acre and the recreational consumer's surplus is $113 per acre. Combined with average greenhouse gas sequestration values, a conservative and minimal ecosystem service value estimate for an acre of wetland in the Delta is around $450. These estimates, along with other services identified, are an innovative and essential tool for conservation policy development and benefit/cost analyses of public expenditures. My methods show that economic modeling and valuation techniques can play a vital and powerful role in informing conservation planning and policy decision-making. In addition, this thesis presents a transferable example that can be applied to other conservation habitat types and geographic locations using other economic modeling tools.

Book excerpt: Wetlands are among the most productive life-supporting systems of the world with immense socio-economic, ecological and bio-aesthetic importance. They are also one of the most threatened habitats in the world, facing degradation due to ill-planned urbanization, industrialization and encroachments. A wetland ecosystem provides innumerable tangible and intangible benefits to society, the value of which, due to being difficult to quantify and document, is often not disseminated to policymakers and the general public. Hence, economists have developed non-market approaches to address these difficult issues related to the valuation of the environment. This is to counter planning and development decisions made purely on economic grounds, on the basis of the forces at play in the free-market system. This book details the ecological importance, environmental degradation, threats, changes in land use and related key issues of Pallikaranai Marsh. It also provides an economic evaluation of the Marsh to guide policymakers and planners in decision-making processes at both the macro- and micro-level. Students, researchers and policymakers will benefit from this book in conducting wetland research, framing suitable management practices and valuating wetlands.

Book excerpt: Taking into consideration the fact that many ecosystems are under-represented in protected areas of land and water and traditional management methods have often been ineffective, this volume describes how improvements can be made. Specifically, it explores ways of ensuring that all major ecosystems are safeguarded, and innovative approaches to conservation involving individuals, communities, companies and governments. The essence of the approach taken in the text is to build partnerships with those who have a stake in the care of land and water resources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adverse climate impacts are already evident across Southern Africa and pose a serious threat to the development prospects of the region's societies. Sustainable development in this region will depend on the rapid development and implementation of effective adaptation measures.This volume identifies the new socioeconomic and political boundaries to development that result from ongoing climate change in Southern Africa. The collected papers explore the region's potential for a transition to development strategies that combine meaningful socioeconomic investment and adaptation measures while also improving livelihoods in the region. The chapters are backed up by detailed case studies which underscore the urgent need for national governments and multilateral agencies to develop strategies to support Southern Africa's societies in adapting to climate change.

Book excerpt: Ecosystem services can be broadly defined as the aspects of ecosystems that provide benefits to people. This book provides guidance on the valuation of ecosystem services, using the case of multifunctional wetlands to illustrate and make recommendations regarding the methods and techniques that can be applied to appraise management options. It provides a review of ecosystem service valuation rationale, including its importance from both a policy and project appraisal perspective, and a useful reference when considering policy and appraisal of ecosystem management options. It shows how legal obligations and other high-level management targets should be taken into account in valuation exercises, thus giving important policy context to the management options.The authors set out what they call an Ecosystem Services Approach to the full appraisal of the role of ecosystem services in the economy and society. Although concentrating on wetlands, the approaches suggested provide an assessment framework that can be applied to other types of ecosystem assets.
