Notes

Abstract:
A payment for watershed services scheme has been suggested to halt the anthropogenic degradation along the basin by promoting more effective land and water management practices. At the same time, the scheme provides a means to equitably share benefits within the basin’s stakeholders. The research goal is to identify who should pay for the watershed services in the MRB and the conditions under which they would be willing to participate. The results are intended to assist in the development of an appealing business plan for the involvement of the stakeholders as potential buyers in the conservation program.
