Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resource managers and decisionmakers must often decide how to allocate and manage conflicting uses of scarce natural resources. In many cases, one use of a natural resource precludes alternative uses of the same resource. In order to make informed decisions regarding the allocation and management of such scarce natural resources, resource managers need reliable information on the relative value of the resource in either use as well as information on the magnitude and distribution of the economic impacts associated with each alternative use. Two papers are presented which provide estimates of the economic value and the economic impacts associated with whitewater recreation on the Upper Klamath River in southern Oregon, based on data from a 1988 user survey. The first paper uses the two predominant methods of non-market valuation to estimate the economic value of whitewater recreation on the Upper Klamath River. These techniques are the Travel Cost Method (TCM) and the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM). The TCM is adjusted to account for the multiple destination and commercial nature of many users' whitewater trip. In addition, two payment vehicles are used in conjunction with the dichotomous choice format of the CVM. These models are then compared for consistency. Results indicate that the two forms of the CVM provide consistent estimates of consumer's surplus and that adjusted TCM estimates are roughly consistent with these estimates. Results also show the extent that unadjusted TCM estimates would understate CVM and adjusted TCM consumer's surplus estimates. Finally, CVM estimates are used to estimate users' opportunity cost of time. The second paper uses primary expenditure data and the IMPLAN input-output system to examine the economic impacts associated with whitewater recreation on the Upper Klamath River. These impacts include the output, employment, and income generated in the Klamath and Jackson county region of Oregon. Estimates of impacts are generated for a range of use levels. Primary data regarding substitution behavior is utilized to adjust final demand estimates to more accurately reflect impacts. Results indicate that whitewater recreation can help to diversify a region's economy and that total impacts will be overstated if the analyst does not account for users' alternative recreation plans.

Book excerpt: The Klamath River Basin, an area on the California-Oregon border, has become a focal point for local and national discussions on water management and water scarcity. Water and species management issues were brought to the forefront when severe drought in 2001 exacerbated competition for scarce water resources and generated conflict among several interests  farmers, Indian tribes, commercial and sport fishermen, other recreationists, federal wildlife refuge managers, environmental groups, and state, local, and tribal governments. The conflicts over water distribution and allocation are physically and legally complex, reflecting the varied and sometimes competing uses of limited water supplies in the Basin. For management purposes, the Basin is divided at Iron Gate Dam into the Upper and Lower Basins. As is true in many regions in the West, the federal government plays a prominent role in the Klamath Basin's water management. This role stems from three primary activities: (1) the operation and management of the Bureau of Reclamation's Klamath Water Project and Central Valley Project (e.g., Trinity River dams); (2) management of federal lands in the Basin, including five national wildlife refuges, several national forests, and public lands; and (3) implementation of federal laws, such as the Endangered Species Act (ESA), Clean Water Act (CWA), and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Conflict was sparked in April of 2001 when the Bureau of Reclamation, which has supplied water to farms in the Upper Basin for nearly 100 years, announced that "no water [would] be available" for farms normally receiving water from the Upper Klamath Lake to avoid jeopardizing the existence of three fish species listed as endangered or threatened under the ESA. While some water was subsequently made available to some farmers from other sources (e.g., wells and other Bureau sources), many farmers faced serious hardships. During Reclamation's operations in September of 2002, warm water temperatures and atypically low flows in the lower Klamath contributed to the death of at least 33,000 adult salmonids. This die-off damaged fish stocks and the tribes, commercial fishermen, and recreational anglers that catch Klamath fish. There have been many studies, Biological Opinions, and operating plans over recent years, all of which have been controversial. The events of 2001 and 2002 prompted renewed efforts to resolve water conflicts in the Klamath Basin. Congress has responded to the controversy in a number of ways, including holding oversight hearings and appropriating funds for activities in the area. This report provides an overview of recent conflict in the Klamath Basin, with an emphasis on activities in the Upper Basin, and summarizes some of the activities taking place to improve water supply reliability and fish survival. This report will be updated as events warrant.
