The lake provides several ecosystem services from inland waterway transport, fisheries to hydropower and supports many different industries such as tourism, trade, and wildlife. However, Lake Victoria’s ecosystem management has been highly extractive; hence its water resources are either inefficiently or overused. This is because the value of this resource is either unknown or underestimated. The main purpose of the research was to contribute to Lake Victoria’s conservation efforts by providing the best techniques that can be used to assess the value of this resource and develop appropriate policies for the sustainable management of the lake. The study reviewed relevant literature on the economic assessment methods of environmental resources in the context of water management. Search engines such as Google Scholar, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect were used for it. The study suggests methods for economic valuation of Lake Victoria water ecosystem for each service. The proposed techniques can be used for assessing the value and benefits of conservation and restoration of Lake Victoria ecosystem.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Озеро Виктория - второе по величине пресноводное озеро в мире, экосистема которого критически важна для 25-30 млн жителей Кении, Уганды, Танзании, Руанды и Бурунди, проживающих в бассейне озера. Озеро обеспечивает несколько экосистемных услуг: от внутреннего водного транспорта, рыболовства до гидроэнергетики и поддерживает множество различных отраслей, таких как туризм, торговля и дикая природа. Однако управление экосистемой озера Виктория не было ресурсосберегающим; следовательно, его водные ресурсы используются либо неэффективно, либо чрезмерно. Это связано с тем, что ценность данного ресурса неизвестна или недооценена. Основная цель исследования - внести вклад в усилия по сохранению озера Виктория, предоставив лучшие методы, которые можно использовать для оценки ценности этого ресурса и разработки соответствующей политики для устойчивого управления озером. Проведен обзор соответствующей литературы по методам экономической оценки ресурсов окружающей среды в контексте управления водными ресурсами. В исследовании использовались поисковые системы Google Scholar, Web of Science и ScienceDirect. Предложены методы экономической оценки водной экосистемы озера Виктория для каждой услуги, которые могут применяться для оценки ценности и преимуществ сохранения и восстановления экосистемы озера.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>water ecosystem services valuation</kwd><kwd>water resources management</kwd><kwd>Wetland’s valuation</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>оценка услуг водных экосистем</kwd><kwd>управление водными ресурсами</kwd><kwd>оценка водно-болотных угодий</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Chave P.
