Payment for Environmental Services and Other Institutions for Protecting Drinking Water in Eastern Costa Rica
Author: Michael Kaplowitz

Pages : 0
Book Description
Communities across the globe increasingly confront environmental and natural resource management decisions that require expenditures to protect and conserve ecosystems. These decisions typically require consideration of bio-physical, political, economic, and other factors. Institutional economic thinking and analysis provide a framework for assessing and understanding the relative benefits of alternative institutions for managing environmental and natural resources. Using an institutional economic analysis, this chapter provides an evaluation of two alternative policy instruments - a local payment for environmental services scheme and a national watershed conservation tax - for protecting drinking water in eastern Costa Rica.

Book Description
The long term success of payment for environmental services (PES) schemes depends on adequate demand for services and sustainable financing. We examine the viability of using locally-financed payments to protect watershed services in rural eastern Costa Rica. Using dichotomous choice contingent valuation, we measure households' willingness to pay higher water bills for a local PES program to adjust upstream land use practices to protect downstream water quality. We found that every income segment of the local population of water-users exhibited significant demand and willingness to finance the PES program to protect local water quality.
