WATER RESOURCE EVALUATION ON HUNGARY NOWADAYS

Abstract

In our work we tried to determine asset value of water from natural resources. After reviewing existing methods with formatting specific system, we tried to model the value added framework in which so-called sustainability values, values of natural conditions of water resource and values of social utilization appear with different weight. In the model these factors can be upgraded as well, by adopting and taking into consideration economic, social and environmental changes. During the research it has crystallized that a method based on annuity capitalization can be the most effective, which is able to estimate water resource value as utilization of the final product in a nationally uniform system.
