Abstract |
A methodological and pragmatic basis is presented from which to measure and evaluate future river basin development projects within the framework of multiobjective principles and standards. The Upper French Broad River Basin and a proposed 14-reservoir TVA project within the basin were selected for a case study of traditional benefit-cost analysis and subsequent multiple-objective comparisons with the national economic development, environmental, social, and regional economic development analyses. The areas of economic theory and public finance were integrated with the environmental aspects to develop a systematic process for evaluation of benefits and costs considering resources displaced as well as environmental and social costs imposed. The benefits claimed and views held for public investments in water rsources by various interest groups were explored for the region. (Modified author abstract) |
