An Information System for Improving the Evaluation of Nonmarketed Outputs.

Abstract

Many environmental and social aspects of water resource projects cannot be adequately evaluated in dollar terms. The report establishes a foundation for systematically and objectively identifying and evaluating environmental and social impacts, and for determining environmental and social objectives; it develops a permanent structure for receiving, holding, and releasing information which should be considered in assessing environmental problems and potentials; and it develops a regional context within which investment consequences can be evaluated, so that anticipated developments can be viewed against the suitability and capability of a regional environment to accommodate change induced by a project.
