The methodology was applied in 12 Brazilian river basins, with drainage areas between 17 and 26,500 km2, and changes in land use with variable percentages of urban (62-92%), forest (51-84%) and agriculture (51-89%) areas. The most polluted basins, with greyWF values far above those allowed, have the most significant, almost asymptotic valuation curves. Results range from a minimum reference value of 61 US$/ha/year for conservation, adapted from the Brazilian Water Producer, to US$ 330 for restoring high polluted basins. The results show the viability of this method and discuss further opportunities for water security, especially for climate change and non-stationary sectorial demands.According to ISO 174022008 more knowledge is needed on processes controlling bioavailability of organic species so as to close the still existing gap between chemical measurements and biological effects. The bioavailability concept encompasses the investigation of the degree of penetration of target species across biological membranes. In addition, REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemicals) guidelines promote the use of in-vitro methods against conventional ecotoxicological tests because of the ethical controversy of in-vivo tests. This work is aimed at filling the gap by proposing a multidisciplinary approach based on high-resolution and low-resolution empirical techniques, and theoretical quantum mechanics for the in-vitro investigation of the bioavailability and membranotropic effects of organic emerging contaminants, including bioaccumulation, via passive diffusion across lipid bilayers. Phosphatidylcholine (PC) liposomes are selected as biomembrane surrogates, and contamration of either triclosan or chlorpyrifos int
