In this volume, environmental economists, ecological engineers and aquatic biologists detail their research on the benefits and costs of various aspects of watershedmanagement, including water quality, infrastructure, scenic and historic river corridor impacts and improvements. Treatment costs, hedonic pricing, contingent valuation, benefit transfer and capture estimation, hydrodynamic ecological simulation models and ecological engineering methods are combined to value river corridor impacts and to guide policy decisions on rivers and related watershed restorations. While the volume focuses on rivers in the Great Lakes region, the methods and results have important implications for river systems in other areas of the US, as well as, in Europe and various temperate, developed regions of the world.
Industry Reviews
'It is rare to find a book that attempts to integrate physical, biological and social sciences (economics) to address environmental problems, but this book does a great job of it. It is also rare to find a book that addresses both the benefits and the costs of river restoration, and again this book delivers. This collection of case studies provides an informative and practical guide to conducting economic analyses of many different types of river restoration. Scientists interested in quantifying the benefits and costs of river restoration will gain a very quick and thorough education from the case studies presented in this book.'- John Loomis, Colorado State University, US
