Part II assess the on-site economic cost of soil erosion in the Magat and Pantabangan watersheds, and Part III evaluates off-site (or downstream) effects. Part IV presents the implications of the results obtained in the previous sections for (a) forest and soil conservation policy and (b) approaches to watershed assessment and managementNo physical items for this record
