Economic Value of Instream Flow in Montana's Big Hole and Bitterroot Rivers (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
Excerpt from Economic Value of Instream Flow in Montana's Big Hole and Bitterroot Rivers The recreational value model is demonstrated in an application to the Big Hole and Bitterroot Rivers ln Montana. The Big Hole River 18 one of the premier trout fisheries in North America, and the Bitterroot River is popular with anglers and shoreline users. Valuation is based on experienced flow levels within a cur rent trip valuation model, with quantity of use measured by onsite observation. A broad range of flows was experienced during the May to August sample season, because the summer of 1988 was one of the driest on record. Marginal values per acre-foot at low flow levels were found to be in the $10 to $25 range. The value of flow preservation was estimated in the onsite survey by asking users to specify their preferred flow level and their willingness to pay into a trust fund for maintaining preferred flows. Marginal acre-foot values of $4 to $10 were derived for a flow increment from historical to preferred flows in July and August. If flows delivered to these study sections could be assumed to have similar impacts on users of the entire river, acre - foot values are $25 to $35. Preservation values varied by user group, with Visitors from outside Mon tana having values that were roughly double those of Montana residents on the Bitterroot and three times those of Montana residents on the Big Hole.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a multifaceted study on the economic value of preserving river ecosystems and considers recreational activities as well as broader topics of preservation ethics. Taking the Madison and Bitterroot rivers as case studies, the author provides a methodological framework for ecosystem valuation and analyzes the motives behind preservationist values. Through qualitative and quantitative research methods, the author finds that preservation values are not frequently tied to direct use of the rivers and that existence and bequest values may play a significant role in the public's willingness to support conservation policies. This book will appeal to policymakers, land managers, students, and scholars in environmental economics, conservation, and natural resource management.
