AN ANALYSIS OF COST EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES TO MANAGE WATER POLLUTION PROBLEM: A CASE OF TOBESOFKEE CREEK,GEORGIA

Abstract

A cost minimization model was used to find the minimum cost and environmental friendly management practices(MCEFMP). Use of MCEFMP in cattle production seems to be the most cost effective means of reducing water pollution with a marginal cost of $1200 in comparison to use of MCEFMP on other agricultural operations.Environmental Economics and Policy,
