Resumen
Descripción
Wellington Regional Council has identified community values and objectives to
guide fresh and coastal water policy development. In over twenty workshops people
identified commercial use values for the consumption of water to obtain a financial
return. They had direct use values for activities that required contact or consumption
of water without expecting a financial return. They had intrinsic values associated
with the existence of waterway form and function unrelated to any expected practical
or material benefit for humans. People also expressed indirect use values related to
the contribution of water and waterways towards social and cultural well-being.
