A major problem in water resource planning and project evaluation is lack of a common denominator for use in summarizing the various accounts, especially national economic development and environmental quality accounts, required by Principles and Standards promulgated in 1973. The Tiebout hypothesis, which relates an individuals' choice of residence with Quality of Life (QOL) factors, was extended empirically by evaluating tradeoffs between QOL factors to determine the practicability in using this as an approach to overcome the problem in water resource project evaluation.
