Abstract

This article report is a condensed version of “The On-Site and Downstream Costs of Soil Erosion,†PIDS Technical Report 87-04 of the Upland Resource Policy Program. It estimates the economic costs arising from indiscriminate exploitation of the uplands. It also offers a practical methodology for assessing the economic impact of soil erosion and illustrates the methodology with results from two major watersheds--Magat and Pantabangan.
