3 Promoting the manifold benefits of floodplain restoration for society: Opportunities and challenges for implementing the concept of ecosystem services in transboundary river basin management Results of the VechtPES Project Initiated in the context of UN ECE Transboundary Water Convention (NL / D activities) Funded by:
4 Ecosystem Services Approach: Emphasizing the benefits of a ecological sound Vecht valley from ecosystems are victims of anthropogenic activities. Agriculture Payment for ES: Create a balance Recreation Economic activities Nature Protection Water management... towards the Vecht valley as a source for benefits
5 The project: Vecht PES case study ( ) Is ESA applicable in practical water resources management? Does it provide added value? Can a PES be implemented in such a transboundary setting beyond the project? 1)Ask stakeholders about value of Vecht valley 2)Assess costs & benefits of a floodplain restoration 3)Negotiate Payment for Ecosystems Services
6 Floodplain Restoration Measure Realignment of flood protection bank woods Lowering of soil level through didgging. Creation of soft / hard wood wetland Removal of stone banks. Creation of dynamic river What are the costs and benefits which need to be balanced? NL D

12 (Selected) Lessons Learnt If a measure will be implemented anyhow, generating additional funds with PES will not work as long as the potential buyers get their benefits without paying for them. This constraints application of PES in WFD context. The initiator for a PES may better be the beneficiary. A local wetland restoration may not generate sufficient benefits for stakeholders to engage in a PES. A detailed design of the water management measure is necessary to assess costs and benefits resulting from this measure. The design needs to include adaptations from the stakeholders. A joined, structured assessment of changes in ES provision reveals to the stakeholders that ES are interdependent and thus it reveals to them where trade offs between ES need to be discussed and negotiated.
