Why We should do in Valuation?
• Ecosystems provide services: • 1) Identify what are they
(Understanding through science)• 2) Place a value through economics• 3) Use in Policy making or applying market based
mechanisms to enable these values to be reflected in decision-making through incentives and price signals.

Ecosystem Services: An application
• The UK- National Environmental Assessment identified
- (8) Eight Broad Habitats - and give examples of the services derived from
each…… [Figure Here]

Based on MEA
• Categories all services into …..
– Four Categories as,• Provisioning services• Regulating services• Cultural services, and • Supporting services.

Defining Economic Valuation
• All values are anthropocentric• Value of satisfaction generated through the changes
occurred of the economic agent• We use values as a quantitative measure - $
values [ common unit]• > can compare across space, time and context
using appropriate conversion factors• > Can aggregate by categories > make totals
![Page 9: Economic Valuation of Ecosystem Services in the Context of Irrigation Presentation at IWMI-WLE Workshop (04- - 09-2015 ) Parakrama Weligamage Agricultural.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ec95503460f94bd6fdc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Getting Values from Economic Agents
• Willingness to Pay` - Maximum amount a person would pay (willingness &
ability to pay) for gains. – Sacrifice or trade-off people will make– Market prices are WTP for one more unitWillingness to Accept
• Minimum amount a person would accept to forego a particular ecosystem service in a particular place

Total Economic Value
• What is the value of all services emanating from a resource?
![Page 11: Economic Valuation of Ecosystem Services in the Context of Irrigation Presentation at IWMI-WLE Workshop (04- - 09-2015 ) Parakrama Weligamage Agricultural.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ec95503460f94bd6fdc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Components of Total Economic Value
– Use Values• Consumptive Use• Non-consumptive Use• Vicarious Use
– Non Use or Passive Use Values• Sometimes option value for future use• Existence Value
– To know it exists for oneself or others of current generation
• Bequest Values to future generations

Economic Valuation Methods
• How we get the numbers?
If goods and services have markets – Then we have market prices
If Not?
Non-Market Valuation methods

Two sides of the story

Once values are known…
• make arrangements for a mechanism for transaction in $ terms
• Biodiversity offsetting • Certification schemes• Payment for Ecosystem Services

Appliocation..... Veheragala Diversion Project

Changes in flow volumes at YPC
![Page 27: Economic Valuation of Ecosystem Services in the Context of Irrigation Presentation at IWMI-WLE Workshop (04- - 09-2015 ) Parakrama Weligamage Agricultural.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ec95503460f94bd6fdc/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Impact of Veheragala Project on YPC
• YPC undergoes severe water stress during the dry season
• Regulated downstream release will increase dry season flow to 165% of current volumes)
• Therefore the project can be considered beneficial to YPC
![Page 28: Economic Valuation of Ecosystem Services in the Context of Irrigation Presentation at IWMI-WLE Workshop (04- - 09-2015 ) Parakrama Weligamage Agricultural.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ec95503460f94bd6fdc/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Hypothetical Market
Good status of the environment can only be achieved by releasing water to YPC during dry season
General public of SL will be benefited through Bequest and existence values
Water releases should be financed by the public

Procedure and Results
• Elicitation formatSingle bounded dichotomous choice contingent
valuation aka Referendum
WTP Values = 17.5 Billion LKR

Conclusions
• Irrigation Systems provide multiple benefits• They occur to many beneficiaries• Values to humans of a resource can be
estimated using economic valuation methods• These methods can be applied to serices
generated by irrigation systems
