“…As expected, the bids have a significant negative effect on the probability that a household is willing to pay either the first or the second bid amount, that is, the higher the bid, the lower the probability that a respondent agrees to pay). This conforms to the conclusions of Jin et al [24] and Nasreen et al [18]. Prob > chi2 0.000 0.000 ***, **, * significant at 1%, 5% and 10% probability levels, respectively.…”

“…By employing DBDC, Jinsoo and Jihyo [16], Abdullah and Jeanty [17], and Nasreen et al [18] confirm the conclusions by Haab and McConnell [19] that there are three ways why which DBDC is more efficient than the single-bounded format. First, the "yes-no" and "no-yes" provide a clear bound of WTP; second, the "no-no" and "yes-yes" estimate efficiency gains; and third, the number of responses is substantially increased, especially for larger sample sizes.…”

“…This means respondents who have heard about pollution problems tend to support water improvement programs. The negative coefficient of village, as found in the results from the study of Nasreen et al [18], shows that households living in high risk zones tend to respond "yes". Households that are closer to the two contaminated Cau and Ngu Huyen Khe rivers would be more likely to support the projects to improve their water quality.…”

This study used double-bounded dichotomous-choice to estimate and analyze the factors affecting households' willingness to pay (WTP) for water quality improvement. This study notes that households with higher income, living near a polluted water source, using tap water instead of natural water, who are handicraft producers, and who have more members, are willing to pay more. However, households who rarely hear about environmental pollution issues and who are offered a higher bid are more likely to refuse to pay. Solutions to improve water quality are suggested such as to raise people's awareness through communication channels and social organizations; to increase income associated with environmental protection policies; to construct wastewater treatment plants; to encourage the relocation of production establishments to industrial parks and industrial complexes; to put regulations on collection, payment and sanctions in case of not declaring and paying fees into village conventions; to promulgate circulars, and bylaws to concretize and simplify regulations and policies of the Government and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.

“…The lower portion of the Ganges-Brahmaputra river system is considered to be moderately to severely As enriched (Ahmed et al, 2004;Saha et al, 2018). Dietary intake of water and food (through irrigation with arsenic contaminated groundwater) have been identified as one of the major pathways for As exposure and as a potential health hazard of people (Yu et al, 2003;Kapaj et al, 2006;Rahman et al, 2008;Khan et al, 2014). As is transported by blood to different organs in the body, mainly in the form of monomethylarsonic acid.…”

“…The CVM method is primarily developed by environmental economists on the purpose of eliciting consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) for environmental good or natural resource service [24,25]. Indeed, WTP is a widely used approach in water valuing studies [26][27][28]. In order to measure the effect of water supply change on people's welfare, respondents will be requested to reply their WTP in which the compensation for the gains involved [24,29].…”

Agriculture-to-urban water transfer is currently an important measure to meet the increasing water demand result from rapid industrialization and urbanization in China. Not only measuring benefits of agriculture-to-urban water transfer is critical to assess water transfer proposals, but also it can provide reliable basis for redistributing the benefits of agriculture-to-urban water transfer. This paper has developed a comprehensive framework in which Production Function Approach (PFA) is applied to quantify the value of water use in agricultural and industrial sectors, and Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) is employed to investigate the value of water use in municipal consumption and ecological environment. A case study from Zhuji in China verified the feasibility and validity of the method proposed in the paper. Results indicate that the Agriculture-to-urban water transfer increases the water value created by improving allocation efficiency of water use in different sectors. The benefits of agriculture-to-urban water transfer mainly origin from the fact that the economic value in industrial water-use are higher than which in the other sectors' water-use. Meanwhile, the urban residents have a stronger desire to improve the water eco-environment which lead to higher water value in urban area.PeerJ Preprints | https://doi.org/10.7287/peerj.preprints.27131v1 | CC BY 4.0 Open Access |
