Abstract

La estimación del valor del agua puede hacerse mediante diferentes métodos, de los cuales este trabajo propone el método de precios "quasi-hedónicos". El agua se considera en este trabajo como una variable externa que impacta en el precio diferencial de la tierra, y cuyo valor estimamos para la Cuenca del Guadalquivir. Los resultados nos muestran un valor capital del agua en el rango 2,8 €/m3 a 4,2 €/m3 con un valor más frecuente de 3,46 €/m3, que según el tipo de capitalización empleado nos daría un valor medio de renta del agua entre 0,14 €/m3 (para r=4%) a 0,35 €/m3 (para r=10%). ABSTRACT The valuation of natural resources is a tool used for improving allocation and management of water resources. This research proposes a quasi-hedonic approach as a simple way for estimating the value of irrigation water. Water is considered here as an exogenous variable impacting on land price, which is estimated for the Guadalquivir River Basin (Southern Spain). Results show a capitalized water value in the range 2,8 €/m3 to a 4,2 €/m3. The most frequent value is 3,46 €/m3 , resulting in a value of water rent between 0,14 €/m3 (r=4%) to 0,35 €/m3 (r=10%), depending upon the applied discount rate.
