economic values of water conservation function in the Qinling National Ecology Function Zone(QNEFZ) were estimated by using shadow project approach and market value method.From the estimation
the total water conservation value for the QNEFZ in 2010 was about 31.7 billion Yuan
being equivalent to the gross domestic product(GDP) of Ankang City and 5.7 billion Yuan higher than the GDP of Shangluo City.Water conservation value for the QNEFZ in 2010 was 8.8 billion Yuan more than that in 2002
about 1 billion Yuan increase per year
which indicates a significant improvement in water conservation function.However
the current economic value of water conservation function is just a potential value.In the future
it is important to establish the ecological compensation mechanisms to fit market economy for promoting the transformation of the potential value to real value.
