This project was recently extended to develop guidelines for IWRM program design professionals and water management authorities in the basic principles of economic valuation of water resources as it relates to program design and implementation. This document will have a special focus on Central American water valuation experiences. A training and informational document on environmental valuation techniques was also recently finished. This document analyzed cost – benefit analysis of previous projects and provided guidelines that can be used in future valuation projects. The guidelines focused mainly on valuation techniques in Central America.
