| Title | Economic–Engineering Method for Assessing Trade-Offs between Instream and Offstream Uses |
| Creator | Génova, Paulina Null, Sarah E. Olivares, Marcelo A. |
| Description | Rivers provide multiple water uses and services, including offstream uses that are valued economically and instream uses, such as recreation and ecosystem preservation, that are rarely valued economically. In many countries, water rights allocate water to offstream uses, and dedicated minimum instream flows are the main instrument for instream water allocation. However, minimum instream flows do not ensure continuous reaches for recreation or aquatic habitats. An efficient allocation of water... |
