INCA - Flood Control - Monetary values - 2006-2012

Sara Vallecillo

Description

This dataset is an output of KIP INCA.

All ecosystems but in particular forests, shrubland, grasslands and wetlands reduce runoff by retaining water in the soil and aquifers and slowing down the water flow. This prevents the rapid downstream runoff of surface water, hereby lowering peak runoff, and thus reduces the detrimental effects to citizens, farmland, and infrastructure from flooding. The accounting approach developed here presents the potential of ecosystems to regulate water flows together with the socio-economic demand for protection against river floods.

This dataset maps the monetary values associated to the use of ecosystems to control floods. The associated report provides more details on the calculation. The data cover the years 2006 and 2012.

Shapefile "MonetaryValues_RCatch_Floods_EU.SHP" Estimation of the monetary values of flood service at catchment level (HYDROID) for the years 2006, 2012. [ValueES_06],[ValueES_12]: represent the total estimated monetary value of the Ecosystem Service in euros, maximum values estimated using 500yrs return period inundation maps. NCplus=flood control derived from natural capital in support to defense measures. NC=flood controlled derived from natural capital for 2012 [NC_06], [NC_12]: values of the annual avoided damage (in euros) from floods truncated at the defense measure return period using the eq.6.6 in the JRC technical report for the years 2006 and 2012 respectively. http://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/bitstream/JRC116334/jrc_technical_report_3_final.pdf NCplus_12 = [ValueES_12]- [NC_12] NCplus_06 = [ValueES_06]- [NC_06]
