Abstract

The presentation maps economic values for ecosystem services provided by the River Mayur, Khulna, in terms of direct and indirect uses and values. It proposes some econometric variables to consider in mathematical modelling, while weighing costs and benefits for different interventions. It also reminds the audience at the Institute for Economic Growth, Delhi, that “there is no eligibility or distribution criteria that can be justified on scientific grounds only. The choice is a political choice, with significant distributional consequences.” Findings suggest a fresh water ecosystem is a feasible option.
