Healthy forests can significantly reduce the cost of treating drinking water. We find that a 1 % reduction in turbidity and TOC would reduce treatment costs by 0.046 %–0.091 % and 0.951 %–1.144 %, and that a 1 % forest loss could increase treatment costs by 1.7 %.
Lodge et al. (2016). Annual Review of Environment and Resources
Recent advances have improved estimates of probability and associated uncertainty around invasive species spread. Results of these forecasting models combined with improved and cheaper surveillance technologies and practices [e.g., environmental DNA (eDNA), drones, citizen science] enable more efficient management by focusing surveillance, prevention, eradication, and control efforts on the highest-risk species and locations.

The welfare gains from a diversified environmental policy depend on society's willingness to pay for policy risk reduction and the price of a risk reduction. Welfare gains from policy diversification are equal to 5 % of society's willingness to pay.
