Recreation benefits or costs are an important aspect in the planning for and evaluation of water resources project strategies. How to include in a quantitative fashion the effects of water quality for planning and analysis is yet unresolved. We describe a quantitative formulation for a recreation function in which the water quality is the argument, and suggest how the coefficients may be evaluated.
