| Abstract: | In this article, we device a methodology to value water using Fuzzy theory
that incorporates not only the physical cost of delivery but also the social
and sustainable resource costs that water regulators often ignore.
Specifically, we include the cost of water quality, cost of water resource,
gross domestic product per capita and the household’s willingness to pay
into our estimation. We demonstrate the approach using the household
sector in Shanghai where the residents face potential water shortage and
poor water quality. We estimate a theoretical price of 1.82 Chinese Yuan
per cubic meter for the average household. |
