Abstract/Summary:
These case study summaries illustrate how ecosystem services were valued in specific cases, and demonstrate that it is possible to restore degraded ecosystems and the diversity of services they provide, within the context of sustainable management of water resources. The examples range from largely technical and technological approaches to socioeconomic approaches, and encompass both developed and developing nations.
