In presenting
the results of this survey, USGS (and any other agencies using the
results of this survey) should present both the costs and the
benefits of these programs. While this survey aims to collect
qualitative information about the benefits of a program, it is
really NET benefits that are relevant in program assessment. As
such, agencies need to present the costs of programs as well as the
benefits.
