TextPublication details: Winnipeg, MB : 1973. University of Manitoba,Description: xii, 242 p. : ill. , map ; 28 cmOnline resources: Abstract: This study is concerned with the economic impact of drainage in agricultural areas. Benefits are compared with costs in order to reveal the economic feasibility of investing public funds to improve standards of drainage protection. There are two broad objectives in this study.The first is to develop a model which will satisfactorily estimate the benefits resulting from alternative levels of drainage improvement and which will compare the benefits so derived with the costs involved in providing the increased drainage services. The model must be capable of generating benefit-cost ratios which are a measure of the economic feasibility of the alternative levels of drainage improvement. The second objective is to apply the model to selected study areas in southeastern Manitoba to obtain estimates of benefits, costs, and benefit/cost ratios for alternative levels of drainage development in the specific areas.
