         investment costs, river restoration benefits have not been valued in monetar
         y terms, and a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) does not exist for any river rest
         oration project in Switzerland. We apply stated preference methods to elicit
          public preferences and willingness to pay for restoring two specific but re
         presentative river sites. The benefits of restoration are compared with its 
         costs. Upscaling the results to the national level shows that the government
          budget allocated for river restoration (CHF 1200/m) is insufficient to cove
         r the costs of local restoration projects. However, the surveyed local popul
         ations are willing to pay substantially more for restoring rivers in their a
         rea of residence than they are legally obliged to do. The CBA results demons
         trate that the benefits outweigh the costs in the two case studies, and henc

          in terms of the efficiency improvement that forest-based investments achiev

      description => protected'Contamination of freshwater with micropollutants (MPs) is a growing concern 
         worldwide. Even at very low concentrations, MPs can have adverse effects on

         the first countries to start implementing a national policy to reduce MPs in

         To assess public demand for the reduction of the environmental and health ri

         e results indicate that the average willingness to pay per household is CHF 
         100 (US$ 73) annually for reducing the potential environmental risk of MPs t

         f events reported in the last 10 years has decreased slightly, the number of
          affected people and their related costs is increasing, indicating also an a
         ugmented exposure and vulnerability of humankind to natural hazards (see Fig
         ures 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, EM-DAT 2013, IPCC 2012). Some outstanding events in th
         e last decade in terms of their economic damage were, for example, the Tsuna
         mi in Japan in 2011 with damages of around US$ 210 billion, Hurricane Katrin
         a in 2005 (US$125 billion), the Wenchuan earthquake in China in 2008 (US$85 
         billion), the floods in Thailand in 2011 (US$40 billion) and the drought in 
         the US in 2012 which caused damage of more than US$20 billion (EM-DAT 2013,
