Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper estimates the value of water quality for outdoor recreation in Wales, considering all beaches and rivers in the country, and accounting for the value accrued to existing visits and generated from new visits. The values were aggregated for the population and mapped to show where the benefits of improving water quality are higher. We used a revealed preference method that links models of choices of beaches and rivers with models of the monthly number of visits to all beaches and rivers. We found that improving water quality of a beach from good to excellent has an estimated value of £2.58 per existing visit and leads to an average 52% increase in the number of visits, resulting in an overall value of £199,164/month per person. Improving water quality of a beach from sufficient/poor to good has a smaller value and impact on number of visits. Improving water quality of a river stretch to above bad/poor has a value of £0.99 per existing visit and leads to a 64% increase in the number of visits, resulting in an overall value of £15,671/month per person. We discuss how the assumptions made in the analysis might affect these results.

威尔士海滩和河流水质的揭示偏好评估
摘要本文估计了威尔士户外娱乐的水质价值,考虑了该国所有的海滩和河流,并考虑了现有访问和新访问产生的价值。对人口的值进行汇总并绘制地图,以显示改善水质的好处更高。我们使用了一种揭示偏好的方法,将海滩和河流的选择模型与所有海滩和河流每月访问次数的模型联系起来。我们发现,将海滩的水质从良好改善到良好,估计每次现有访问的价值为2.58英镑,访问次数平均增加52%,因此每人每月的总价值为199164英镑。将海滩的水质从充足/较差改善为良好的价值较小,对访问次数的影响也较小。将河段水质改善至恶劣/较差以上,每次现有访问的价值为0.99英镑,访问次数增加64%,每人每月的总价值为15671英镑。我们讨论了分析中的假设可能如何影响这些结果。
