Resumo
The Meia Ponte river is an important hydric resource of the State of
Goiás, but its quality has been thouroghly jeopardized, with the worst polluted
site being Goiânia, the state’s capital. Several productive activities are developed
along the margins of the river, notably horticulture, whose production is taken
to the market. The irrigation of the vegetable gardens with polluted water can lead to contamination of the produce consequently causing damages to the
consumers’ health. The lack of markets where public goods, such as Meia Ponte
river’s quality, could be traded reflects a lack of knowledge of its value. Such
value is indicative of the importance of this goods’s quality level to the well
being of the population, since it allows to estimate the damages caused by
pollution or the benefits generated by depolluting. In order to estimate the
financial cost of Meia Ponte river’s pollution damage to the Goiânia population,
the Contingent Valuation Method has been adopted. Through this method,
such cost is estimated based on the individual preferences expressed within a
context of a hypothetical market.
