Data in Brief, Volume 30, June 2020, Article number 1054342352-3409https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dib.2020.105434http://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/15427This dataset contains 706 estimates of the economic value of water; it has been compiled from published sources. Economic values are provided for three off-stream uses (agriculture/irrigation, industry, and municipal) and three in-stream ecosystem services (recreation, waste assimilation, and wildlife habitat). The dataset covers per period and capitalised asset values. All value estimates have been standardised in USD (2014) per acre-foot. The data accompany the research article entitled “Shifting from volume to economic value in virtual water allocation problems: a proposed new framework and methodology” [1]. The dataset can be used to facilitate benefits (or value) transfer.enAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Non-market valuationValue transferEconomic value of waterEnvironmental valuationBenefit transferArticle
