Abstract: Abstract In this chapter we present a second study relating to a re-regulation of the same river (Ljusnan) as the one considered in the previous chapter. The basic idea is to design a package of different measures such that virtually everybody is at least as well off with as without the proposal. Thus it is a kind of Win-Win proposal. We begin by briefly discussing the theoretical underpinnings of the approach. Then the study is presented. Two dams at the end of the river are removed. This is the –2-part of the proposal. Salmon will then be able to migrate some 150 km to the natural barrier. Today they cannot enter the river. There are also other environmental benefits. The company owning the dams is thus far a loser. However the company is allowed to drill a tunnel and install new turbines close to the natural barrier. This which we name the +1-part of the proposal will leave the company a winner from the proposal. A web-based questionnaire was used to shed some light on the views on the proposal by those living in the drainage basin of Ljusnan River. The results of the different parts of the proposal are presented in the chapter.
