the opportunity cost of the upper reaches of Qiupuhe River in 2009 was estimated as of 6.02 X 108 yuan with the opportunity cost method
and the maximum willingness to pay(WTP) was 5.62 X 107 yuan with the contingent vale meth-od(CVM). According to the calculations
the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods were ana-lyzed in details. Based on the semi-efficient market theory and the ecological concept of time-space
the whole compensation process could be divided into two stages
initial compensation and final compensation. The difference between direct economic benefit and ecological preservation cost was set as the initial compensa-tion
which was estimated as of 2.35 X 108 yuan for the study area. The final compensation is total value of the opportunity cost.
