2.7 TOTAL ECONOMIC VALUE<br />
Total Ec<strong>on</strong>omic Value (TEV) of the <str<strong>on</strong>g>Delta</str<strong>on</strong>g> was c<strong>on</strong>sidered in terms of the values generated by<br />
direct use of the delta’s resources (direct use values), the values generated offsite and<br />
indirectly as a result of the delta’s ec<strong>on</strong>omical services (indirect use values), and the values<br />
associated with preservati<strong>on</strong> of the delta’s resources (n<strong>on</strong>-use values). Direct use value was<br />
analysed in most detail and was measured in several ways. These included gross output,<br />
the c<strong>on</strong>tributi<strong>on</strong> to nati<strong>on</strong>al product (= gross value added) and the ec<strong>on</strong>omic resource rent<br />
generated by each use (ODMP - Ec<strong>on</strong>omic Valuati<strong>on</strong> Report, 2006). The direct use values<br />
were calculated from both sec<strong>on</strong>dary sources and field surveys The direct use values were<br />
estimated for both the <str<strong>on</strong>g>Ramsar</str<strong>on</strong>g> Site as a whole as well as specifically for the wetland<br />
system.<br />
In deriving the values of the <str<strong>on</strong>g>Okavango</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Delta</str<strong>on</strong>g> goods and services, the ODRS was divided into<br />
z<strong>on</strong>es based <strong>on</strong> c<strong>on</strong>siderati<strong>on</strong> of settlement patterns, land use and natural resource<br />
characteristics. The five z<strong>on</strong>es are the Panhandle, the west, the southwest, the southeast<br />
and the central parts of the ORDS (Figure 2-15).<br />
The Panhandle z<strong>on</strong>e is characterised by the lack of floodplain area, the high numbers of<br />
settlements al<strong>on</strong>g the river, and the relatively high density and accessibility of fish and<br />
aquatic plant resources. There is little opportunity for recessi<strong>on</strong> agriculture (molapo<br />
farming). The west z<strong>on</strong>e lies to the west of the <str<strong>on</strong>g>Delta</str<strong>on</strong>g> proper, and people living here have<br />
access to wetland and floodplain resources, including molapo farming areas.<br />

Figure 2-15: Ec<strong>on</strong>omic valuati<strong>on</strong> z<strong>on</strong>es<br />
The southwest z<strong>on</strong>e is relatively arid and sparsely populated. Its settlements follow what<br />
was formerly the outer margin of the <str<strong>on</strong>g>Delta</str<strong>on</strong>g>, but these are now far from the wetland and<br />
floodplain areas. The southeast area covers Maun and is relatively far from the main<br />
wetland areas, but does have reas<strong>on</strong>able access to some of the distributaries and floodplain<br />
areas.<br />
