Abstract

The evaluation of the externalities produced by the use of water for irrigation methodology is applied in this Study to highlight how irrigation contributes to the production of eco-system services and to increase the availability of environmental assets for free use, determining a variation in the collective well-being, whose monetary measure can be quantified in the willingness to pay for the users.
