This project looked at how to convert a proposal’s expected impacts on water quality into information about changes in economic values. Academic researchers in the fields of biology and economics were brought together with government staff to co-create new forms of knowledge. The goal was to develop a flexible, computer-based model that could be used by government and/or policy analysts to put a dollar value on the potential impacts of changes to surface water quality in Canada.
