FULL PUBLICATION HERE

Article Highlights:

We model and value the benefits and costs of fuels treatments for a PWS program.

The economic value to source water is between USD 4–42 million in the study area.

The economic value to co-benefits is between USD 24–100 million in the study area.

We find a generally positive but wide range of benefit-cost ratios for the program.

On-the-ground constraints in targeting lowered program efficiency.
