30. 30 Benefit Estimation Travel Cost Model
Contingent Valuation Model
31. 31 TCM 300 surveys at the site (Dec. 2005 – March. 2006)
Used to estimate only Use-value. Only 2005 situation.
We used two sub-models
Zonal travel cost
Individual travel cost (will not be described here but was done).
32. 32 Step 1: ZTCM base table
33. 33 Step 2: Visitation against price increase
34. 34 Step 3: Fitting a function
35. 35 Step 3 (cont.) Total benefit of the site: (MNIS per year)
Linear function:
Visits =65577-157.32*(Travel Cost)
TB=15,471,164
Cubistic function:
Visits = 96554.5 – 796.7*TC + 2.3 (TC)2 – 0.0022 (TC)3
TB=10,268,534
Exponential function:
Visits =[6.504756-ln(Travel Cost)]/0.00008426
Travel Cost =668.3*exp{-0.00008426*(Visits)}
TB=7,929,665

Can estimate Use + nonuse values
Can estimate future hypothetical scenarios
- We asked about future water quality
improvement which can be thought of as

43. 43 Zeimar – Alexander basin The comparison between the years 1995 – 2005 focuses primarily on the four following points:
Many secondary pollution sources were eliminated
Natanya’s wastewater treatment facility
Kubani Creek
Wadi Zeimar.

58. 58 Wastewater Treatment Options Three different scenarios were evaluated for wastewater management within the Wadi Zeimar catchment area involving:
1. Primary treatment at Tulkarem pools only (BAU Scenario), No additional Costs except for O&M
2.1 Extended Aeration Treatment and Reuse System at Tulkarem only (Expected Future Scenario #1.1), 40 million US for the first phase and about 31 million US$ additional funds needed until 2030
2.2 Activated Sludge Treatment and Reuse System at Tulkarem only (Expected Future Scenario #1.2) 41 million US for the first phase and about 32 million US$ additional funds needed until 2030
3. Activated Sludge or Extended Aeration Treatment and Reuse System plus advanced treatment at Tulkarem and Nablus-West (Expected Future Scenario #2), 100 million US for the first phase and about 80 million US$ additional funds needed until 2030
