Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a special case of the hedonic pricing model of recreational demand, this study estimates demand, cost, and quality functions for private-boat walleye fishing in the Ohio waters of Lake Erie during the Summer 1981 season. It is based on a sample of 350 private boat anglers who report-ed their fishing activities in the Ohio waters of Lake Erie's Western Basin during this period. The economic value of this activity is estimated using two theoretical approaches: One implicitly suggests that a recreational activity occurs at a point in time. Consequently, its price is viewed as the sum of money and time costs of travelling to and from the recreation site. The other considers a recreational activity to be a time-intensive activity. Its price is viewed in terms of the combined money and time costs of both consuming the activity and travelling to and from the recreational site. Sensitivity analysis is performed on estimates derived to demonstrate the effect of applying alternative measures of the opportunity cost of time. When these estimates are combined with creel census data on angler effort, the point-in-time approach yields estimated aggregate values for the western Basin which range from $29 million to $94 million. The time-intensive approach yields estimated aggregated values of $313 million to $571 million.

Download or read book Economic Valuation of Water Resources in Agriculture written by R. Kerry Turner and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2004 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this report is to produce a review on water resource valuation issues and techniques specifically for the appraisal and negotiation of raw (as opposed to bulk or retail) water resource allocation for agricultural development projects. The review considers raw water in naturally occurring watercourses, lakes, wetlands, soil and aquifers, taking an ecosystem function perspective at a catchment scale, and takes account of the demands from irrigated and rainfed agriculture. It is hoped that the review will have particular application to developing countries where agreed methods for reconciling competing uses are often absent, but nevertheless takes account of valuation approaches that have been made in post industrial economies.

Download or read book Economic Losses from Marine Pollution written by Douglas D. Ofiara and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2001-05 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marine pollution causes significant damage to fisheries and other economically productive uses of the ocean. The value of that damage can be quantified by economists, but the meanings of those valuations and how they are derived are often obscure to noneconomists.Economic Losses from Marine Pollution brings a fuller understanding of the variety and extent of marine losses and how they are assessed to scientists, lawyers, and environmentalists by systematically identifying and classifying marine losses and relating them to models and methods of economic valuation. The authors use a step-by-step approach to show how economists have used these methods and how they approach the problem of assessing economic damage.The book begins by describing the importance of economic valuation of marine damages, the history of concern over marine pollution, and the development of economic methodologies to assess damage from it. Following that, the book: considers types of marine pollution and their effects on organisms, ecosystems, and humans, and the corresponding economic effects of those biological impacts introduces the economic principles and methods needed to understand and to assess economic damages expresses losses from water quality impairments in terms of economic value introduces the basic economic techniques that have been developed and used to measure changes in economic value discusses how to apply those economic techniques, and presents a variety of practical examples explores limitations and problems that can arise in such applied work.Economic Losses from Marine Pollution includes all of the relevant economic theory together with specific examples of how that theory has been and can be applied. It offers environmental professionals with little or no background in economics the basic economic tools needed to understand economic valuations of environmental damage, and represents a unique handbook for environmental and marine scientists, lawyers, economists, policy professionals, and anyone interested in issues of marine water quality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recreational or sport fishing is important for three major reasons: economic (it is a multi-billion dollar world industry); social (it is embedded in the cultures of many nations; ecological (it affects the environment and food webs in many ways). Recreational Fisheries covers a range of methods, case studies and perspectives on the multidisciplinary evaluation of the benefits and costs of sports fisheries. Tony Pitcher and Charles Hollingworth, the editors of this landmark publication, have drawn together chapters from more than 30 contributors from North America, Europe, Australia and South Africa, providing a truly international perspective on a global industry. Contents include detailed assessments, evaluations and survey mthods of sport fisheries in many countries. This book is an essential reference for anyone active in the management, assessment, policy making or development of sport and recreational fisheries worldwide. All fisheries scientists and managers will require a copy of this important publication. Environmental and aquatic scientists, ecologists and oceanographers will also find this book of great value in their work. Libraries in research establishments, laboratories and universities where fisheries and biological sciences are studied and taught should have multiple copies of this book. Covers a worldwide industry of great commercial importance. Internationally known editors and contributors from four continents. Uses case studies from around the globe to illustrate the subject. A core subject essential to fisheries scientists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This Report of the International Joint Commission concerning diversions and consumptive uses of Great Lakes water has been prepared in response to a reference from the Governments of Canada and the United States, dated February 21, 1977, and continues the Commission's long involvement in Great Lakes water quantity issues, which first emerged through concern about lake levels... The Commission's Report on the reference is in two parts. Part One examines the effects of existing diversions, the potential to improve extremes in Great Lakes levels by changing existing diversion flow rates, and existing and projected consumptive uses in the Great Lakes basin. Part Two provides a broader and more appropriate context within which to address the longer-term prospects for the use of Great Lakes water."--Executive summary.
