Abstract

“Blue water saving” (BWS) projects are not the best options for agricultural water development, poverty eradication and environmental sustainability. This chapter brings another innovation in the economics literature by presenting and discussing contingent benefit-cost valuation of Payments for Watershed Services (PWS) in the ASALs of Kenya. The chapter focuses on non-market methods used nowadays for the economic valuation for the financial flows accrued from investments in PWS.
