Determining the economic value of wetlands is essential while creating sustainable wetland development plans and market-based ecological protection strategies. This paper studies the value of Begnas Watershed System by assessing the economic values of its selective ecosystem servicees. We conducted household surveys, multiple focus group discussions, stakeholder consultation, indepth interviews and used a combination of market and non-market based valuation methods like market price method, travel cost method, revealved price method, contingent valuation method, and benefit transfer method to determine the value of ecosystem services of the Begnas Watershed System. This study discovered that the economic benefit generated from the wetland was worth US 3.91 million per year, equivalent to US 650.67 per household and US$ 799.79 per hectare. The direct non-consumptive (recreational) service was the most beneficial service holding about 85% of the total value. This research study concludes that the Begnas Watershed System is economically beneficial for the local communities living in or close to the watershed and is worth the investment in lake restoration projects. This results from this study will serve as an important tool for policymakers and stakeholders during the formulation of management plans for the wetland's sustainability.

确定湿地的经济价值对于创建可持续的湿地发展计划和基于市场的生态保护战略至关重要。本文通过评估选择性生态系统服务的经济价值，研究了Begnas流域系统的价值。我们进行了住户调查，多次焦点小组讨论，利益相关者咨询，深入访谈，并结合使用了基于市场和非市场的估值方法，例如市场价格方法，差旅成本方法，显露价格方法，或有估值方法以及利益转移方法。确定Begnas流域系统的生态系统服务价值。这项研究发现，湿地带来的经济效益每年价值391万美元，相当于每户650.67美元和每公顷799.79美元。直接非消费（娱乐）服务是最有益的服务，约占总价值的85％。这项研究得出的结论是，贝格纳斯集水区系统对生活在集水区或其附近的当地社区在经济上是有益的，值得在湖泊修复项目上进行投资。这项研究的结果将为决策者和利益相关者在制定湿地可持续性管理计划时提供重要工具。
