ABSTRACT:
The growing popularity of recreational rivers requires that resource managers increasingly employ reservation systems to regulate river use. The question thus arises: Do reservation systems discriminate against certain segments of the population? This study, drawing on data collected from floaters on 26 river stretches not currently subject to reservation systems, showed that such systems, should they be adopted on these rivers, will not put any identifiable group at a disadvantage.
