- •
The non-market benefits of WFD implementation are valued in one of the largest river basins in Portugal.
- •
Tests are carried out for sensitivity to scope and scale.
- •
Public WTP for incremental water quality improvements declines once GES is achieved.
- •
Respondents living outside the river basin value water quality improvements significantly less than respondents living inside the basin.
- •
No spatial heterogeneity is found inside the river basin and public WTP for the Mondego estuary and river basin is the same.
