PIRE Retreat Dr. Ashmita Sengupta (SCCWRP)Slide #2
•Driven by need to develop holistic approach to sustainably manage diverse water resource issues.•Focus on community learning and place-based solutions.•Innovative, integrated resource frameworks that capture social, economic, as well as environmental elements.•Highly applicable to semi-arid climates.
PIRE-CAPIM Collaboration
• Center for Aquatic Pollution Identification and Management: based at University of Melbourne
• New technologies to improve monitoring, identify priority pollutants, detect sources of major pollutants and assist in management of pollution issues
• Experience with reclaimed water offset scheme- saved Melbourne Water $80 M (Upper Dandenong Project)

Australian Smart Water Fund for Water Quality Offsets Framework
• Australian Smart Water Fund issued a bid for funding an IWRM Framework based on Jacksons Creek Experiment
• Key stakeholders – Victorian Water Industry, regional partners, EPA, DEPI, OLV, CAPIM, Local Government)
• PIRE partnered with CAPIM to respond to RFP

NSF PIRE-CAPIM Project Goal
Conduct integrated assessment of environmental, social, and economic components of water management strategies in Jacksons Creek Watershed as a foundation for understanding use of environmental offsets on a broader scale.
Key Questions:1) What are the social and environmental impacts of the current offset scenarios
in Jacksons Creek?2) What are optimal strategies for achieving net positive societal, economic, and environmental benefits in the watershed (and what are their lessons)?3) What are impediments/opportunities to applying such strategies to other locations (e.g. Southern California)?

Phase 1Develop a conceptual framework
Watershed/water quality model to evaluate trade offs
Social/political Evaluation
Economic Evaluation
Decision Tree Analysis
Optimal Strategies
Phase 2 Explore Scenarios
Watershed/water quality model
Social/political Evaluation
Economic Evaluation
Decision Tree Analysis
Optimal Strategies
Phase 3 Expand framework based on scenario analysis
Apply to other sites (Australia and Southern California)
Benefits/Impediments
Conceptual Framework (under construction)

Options for Capturing Value
• Standard, contingent value approach• Limited in terms of value capture
Traditional Willingness to Pay
• Designed to capture intrinsic value of cultural, historic, and ecological assets
• Community generated list of assets produces ranked list of preferences
Place-based, Intrinsic Value
• Workshop participants engage in WTP exercise based on interactive, game theoretic model
• Consequences to WTP decisions are immediate
Interactive, Game Theory
