Extract

It is widely recognized that outdoor recreation is an important segment of our economy. Most recent efforts to quantify the size of the recreational segment of our economy result in determining only isolated parts of total recreational value. This is particularly true of efforts to determine the value of various aspects of publicly owned natural resource systems. This paper presents procedures to estimate total recreational value of water in a river basin system: the Kissimmee River Basin, Florida.
