Perception and Willingness-to-Pay on conservation of lake basin under the impact of climate change – a comparison between urban and rural tropical lake

Climatic changes are affecting the lake hydrological regime, including the associated drought and floods within the drainage basins. Assessing the value of damages to ecosystem services within the lake basin concerning the climatic changes is difficult due to the numerous ecosystem services provided...
