This paper examined the application of Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) for estimating the Option Value (OV) of Lake Bosumtwi (LB) based on the willingness-to-pay (WTP). It argues that there is maximum willingness to pay for the OV of LB and therefore it should be preserved for future personal recreation site. This could be done through ecotourism either by privatization or public ownership. Otherwise‚ posterity would be denied of its future value because it is getting deteriorated. In addition

greek words: cyto- cell‚ and metry - measurement. So cyto-metry is about making cell measurements. To elaborate‚ flow cytometry is a technique for analysing particles (cells in this case) which are suspended in a fluid stream by flowing the cells past an interrogation point.
