Progress on Ecological Compensation Standard Estimation of River Basins

Reviews were made on ecological compensation standard estimations of river basin. Based on water quality of river basin, current ecological compensation standard estimations could be divided into ecological protection compensation and basin pollution compensation. Ecological protection compensation estimations had willingness-to-pay, total cost accounting, value of ecosystem services and water resources. While pollution compensation estimation accounted water quality and quantity protection. Analysis were made on the advantages and disadvantages of each estimation.
