No 289199, Staff Reports from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: This study reviews selected literature from 1972 to 1981 dealing with economic analyses of alternative erosion and sedimentation control measures on agricultural lands. Fifty-four publications are reviewed with respect to their applicability in the economic evaluation of erosion and sedimentation in selected small areas. Those publications which were found to be the most helpful are more fully discussed in five study applications subsections which appear at the end of the major sections. The review was organized into seven major sections: introduction, related literature reviews, on farm analysis, small area analysis, large area analysis, other studies, and conclusions and recommendations.
