True cost accounting

Not all figures reflect the actual costs of a project, especially when considering the impact of the alterations on human health and ecological integrity. This concept suggests that subsidies, externalities and less than intangible opportunities are also costs that must be accounted for when determining the value of a project.

Consider dams, flood control devices, or levee system.
