This online session at World Water Week 2022 will explore economic valuation methods for water and their applications in Asia, based on research and project experiences in the region. The session aims to promote better policies and strategies for water pricing and distribution, investment in water reuse, and greater societal appreciation for water.
Engaging practitioners from governments, companies, development agencies, and academia, the session will provide an overview of effective methods to quantify the value of water, followed by breakout discussions on three topics:
- Tools and Application of Quantifying the Value of Water
- Valuing Water for Industries
- Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) and Willingness to Pay
