Beschreibung:
Watersheds are the source of natural and economic resources that are often subject to joint production processes, which is when the production or use of a resource is closely linked to the production or use of other resources. Consequently, tradeoffs among crucial resources are often necessary. The optimal amount of goods and services from the shared resources should be the flow of resources that maximize the present value of the net benefits to society. The best way to achieve the maximum net benefit is through integrated watershed resource planning. It is also necessary that natural and economic resources be environmentally sustainable, while they satisfy society's increasing demand for products and services. This paper focuses on how watershed management can address the increasing demand for high-quality water, while sustaining natural and economic resource flows.
