This book was released on 2018-11-29 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This thesis examines recreational benefits provided by several spring sites located in North Central Florida using the travel cost method (TCM). The first part of the study estimates the travel demand for springs using data collected from on-site intercept surveys from four springs in North and Central Florida. The second part derives the consumer welfare using the consumer surplus (CS), which represents the benefits from visiting the springs. To examine the robustness of the estimated CS further a sensitivity analysis of the calculated travel cost variable was performed. Lastly, to examine whether the individuals clarity response can be explained by the physical environmental measures presence in the springs. The results of the TCM estimation are consistent with previously published CS estimates and are on the high end in terms of dollar amount. The CS of the four sites is valued at $144,497,642 with an average trip valued at $177.49 per person per trip, with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of $141.78-$234.04. However, the results of the sensitivity analysis of TCM yields some insightful results with higher projected CS value of the spring sites. The perception link between individuals clarity rating and the physical water measures using the ordered logistic regression estimation output could not be explained based on the results. The dependent variables used did not yield any link in relation to the individual perception. The results imply individuals place a substantial value on the CS estimated of the springs in North Central Florida. Using the TCM is one of the many ways to estimate the value of the springs. The results of this study will help inform key decision-makers on recommendations for protecting springs from further degradation due to economic growth and need of water resources. While the study provides a recreational value of individuals view placed on the springs, decision-makers will need to use the information to implement new policies at the State and County levels to preserve the spring sites for future generations.

Download or read book Valuing Ground Water written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-07-10 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because water in the United State has not been traded in markets, there is no meaningful estimate of what it would cost if it were traded. But failing to establish ground water's valueâ€"for in situ uses such as sustaining wetlands as well as for extractive uses such as agricultureâ€"will lead to continued overuse and degradation of the nation's aquifers. In Valuing Ground Water an interdisciplinary committee integrates the latest economic, legal, and physical knowledge about ground water and methods for valuing this resource, making it comprehensible to decision-makers involved in Superfund cleanup efforts, local wellhead protection programs, water allocation, and other water-related management issues. Using the concept of total economic value, this volume provides a framework for calculating the economic value of ground water and evaluating tradeoffs between competing uses of it. Included are seven case studies where ground-water valuation has been or could be used in decisionmaking. The committee examines trends in ground-water management, factors that contribute to its value, and issues surrounding ground-water allocation and legal rights to its use. The book discusses economic valuation of natural resources and reviews several valuation methods. Presenting conclusions, recommendations, and research priorities, Valuing Ground Water will be of interest to those concerned about ground-water issues: policymakers, regulators, economists, attorneys, researchers, resource managers, and environmental advocates.

This book was released on 1986 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Section 304(a) (1) of the Clean Water Act 33 U.S.C. 1314(a) (1) requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to publish and periodically update ambient water quality criteria. These criteria are to accurately reflect the latest scientific knowledge (a) on the kind and extent of all identifiable effects on health and welfare including, but not limited to, plankton, fish shellfish, wildlife, plant life, shorelines, beaches, aesthetics, and recreation which may be expected from the presence of pollutants in any body of water including ground water; (b) on the concentration and dispersal of pollutants, or their byproducts, through biological, physical, and chemical processes; and (c) on the effects of pollutants on biological community diversity, productivity, and stability, including information on the factors affecting rates of eutrophication and organic and inorganic sedimentation for varying types of receiving waters. In a continuing effort to provide those who use EPA's water quality and human health criteria with up-to-date criteria values and associated information, the document was assembled. The document includes summaries of all the contaminants for which EPA has developed criteria recommendations.
