  2. Selected knowledge products

  3. FAO Water Report 35

  4. FAO Water Report 35 • methodology for the economic appraisal of WW reuse projects • applies this methodologyin real cases • in Mexico and Spain.

  5. FAO Water Report 35 Failure Stories

  6. FAO Water Report 35 Why? Not economic appraisal!

  7. FAO Water Report 35 Steps in an economic appraisal • Economic justification • Are Total Benefits higher than Total Costs? • Cost-benefit analysis • Is reuse the most cost-effective approach? • Are there better alternatives? • Cost-effectiveness analysis • Financial feasibility • Who pays? And how?

  8. FAO Water Report 35 Economic justification

  9. FAO Water Report 35 Boundaries and parties Cities Agriculture Environment

  10. FAO Water Report 35 Cost-Benefit analysis Benefits • Farmers • Water all year round • Nutrients and organic matter • Avoided costs of pumping • Cities • Food Security • Low-cost treatment • Environment • Reduced pollution • Reduced freshwater abstraction • Lower C foot print

  11. FAO Water Report 35 Cost-Benefit analysis Risks Minimizing risks = Cost • Treatment options • Non treatment options

  12. FAO Water Report 35 Cost-Benefit analysis • Other costs • New infrastructure • Water pumping and conveyance • Environmental costs • Environmental impacts (e.g. Salinization) • Health costs • Illness due to infectious and chemical agents

  13. FAO Water Report 35 Cost-Effectiveness If Total Benefits > Total Costs Is the chosen reuse approach the most cost-effective approach? • Water Conservation • Desalination • Water transfer • Others Alternatives.

  14. FAO Water Report 35 Financial feasibility

  15. FAO Water Report 35 Financial impact on stakeholders • Stakeholders: • Farmers • City authorities • Regional or national government • Who benefits and who loses ?

  16. FAO Water Report 35 Financial instruments • Subsidies • Others • Soft loans • Payment for environmental services • Water charges • Pollution taxes • …

  17. FAO Water Report 35 Final remarks Economic appraisal of projects (including reuse projects) is an essential tool for water planning and allocation strategies within IWRM. The FAO report provides a sound methodology for the economic appraisal of reuse projects.
