Abstract: This paper proposes a methodology to compute a cost recovery ratio directly from the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting for Water (SEEA-Water) standard tables. The methodology is applied to the Guadalquivir River Basin in southern Spain. Results illustrate that it allows cost recovery analysis in line with Water Framework Directive Article 9. Wider adoption of the methodology would enhance comparability and knowledge sharing between regions, countries and sectors both in the European Union and worldwide.
