Effects of climate variation and water levels on reservoir recreation
... Research on the demand for recreation in other regions has found the value of reservoir recreation is closely tied to water levels. An early study of California reservoirs by Ward et al. (1996) found that the recreational use value of water ranged from $6 to $600 per acre-foot, depending on the rese ...
