1.) WATERSHEDS
The five ecosystem goods and services are as follows:- 
1) Clean and  Fresh Air 
2) Drinking Water 
3) Fresh Water Fish 
4) Timber 
5) Honey
 2 
Ans:- Clean and Fresh Air = .$.5*365 days * 760000 people = $138.5 million 
2) Lets average drinking water consumption be 2 litre and the cost per litre is $.4 per litre. 
Hence the total cost will be 2*.5*365*760000 = 277 million 
3) Lets average consumption be 1 kg per person per 5 day with $5 per KG rate. Hence the 
cost will be 5*365/5*760000= $277 Million 
4) Timber :- Lets average consumption per person per year will be 1 m3 with $365 per 
M3.  So total cost will be 377 million 
5) lets average consumption per person will be .2 litre per year with $5 as cost  . hence 
total cost is .766 million. 
Hence the total cost will be sum of all five = 970.66 million
c) The health of the ecosystem will be assessed in the following ways:- 
1) By measuring the quantities of harmful pollutants in ppm such as lead etc. in the 
surrounding air. 
2) By measuring the quantities of Harmful chemicals in the water in ppm. 
3) Presence of Flora and Faunas in the surrounding area. 
4) Presence of harmful chemicals in soil in ppm 
5) Estimation of average noise pollution in the mystic water shed.
By collecting above data and comparing with a healthy ecosystem data can only make it possible 
to make prediction about the healthy ecosystem.

The hydrograph states that the water discharge remains below the median figure throughout the 
November except toward the end of first and the second week. Hence, the water discharge is in

value .However; it goes on decreasing till the end. It shows that water discharge is very high in 
the beginning.
c) The hydrograph states that the water discharge remain below the median figure throughout 
the November except toward the end of first and the second week in town brook. Hence, the 
water discharge is in control for most of the time whereas in Charles River it shows that the 
discharge is very high till mid of November compare to the median daily value .However, it
