An Economic Assessment of Drinking Water Safety Planning Koror-Airai, Palau
01 December, 2010
To overcome limitations of end-product testing to ensure drinking water safety, the latest edition of the WHO Guidelines for Drinking-Water Quality (WHO, 2004) emphasises effective preventive management through drinking water safety planning (DWSP). The Koror-Airai drinking water safety plan in Palau contains a list of water management improvements to be made within a stated tentative timescale.
This Cost-Benefit Analysis aims to compare the costs of implementing the improvement schedule to the long-term benefits of doing so. The information generated is to be used to inform stakeholders in Palau of the rewards from supporting the DWSP approach, demonstrating the potential benefits of investing in the Plan. The Analysis concludes that the expected net benefits of the K-A drinking water safety plan in Palau are thus estimated at US$ 1.1 million – a return of US$ 5.90 on each US$ 1.00 invested.
