Developments in Economic Valuation of Hydrologic Data: two Steps Forward, One Step Back
Techniques for the economic valuation of hydrologic data have been developed in response to the need to allocate resources to activities which will provide the most value as well as to the trend over recent years for a general reduction in the extent of hydrologic data collection networks. It is perceived that quantitative estimates of the dollar value of such data would be the most effective way of adequately representing the case for future data collection. This paper reviews the developments which have occurred in data valuation techniques with particular, though not exclusive, emphasis on ...

Operational hydrology report (OHR), 32. Cost-benefit assessment techniques and user requirements for hydrological data
In 1980 the Commission for Hydrology established a Working Group on Users' Requirements for Hydrological Information to study the determination of the economic value of hydrological data for water-resource projects and the use of cost-benefit criteria in the optimization of hydrological networks.
