Risk, revenues and governance

Innovation and change cannot go without risks.

Identify the main areas of responsibility andthe risks associated. Shared understanding of

risks is the basis. Assign the responsibilities and risks to the

party best able to manage them.

Bearing risk has a cost and the party bearing

the risk will likely demand something in return. A public regulator should secure the benefits

for society and the environment.

Criteria for decisions

At the local decision level there is a need for

practical criteria that can guide the actors, thosewho participate in the planning process.

Efficientis the best known criterion. An efficienttechnology (EST) produces high results (sufficient

water for households, farming, industry, health)with low efforts (money, time, resources, humanenergy). Technologies can also be more or lessefficient in saving water. Calculating efficiency is

very helpful for making decisions.

But it is not the only criterion. The Bissau caseserves as an illustration:

Bissau City (W.Africa) faces water andsanitation problems in squatter areas. Aneighbourhood upgrading programme realisesnew tap stands, new latrines and newdrainage gutters.

Learning from a case

1. New taps not reliable (power failures). Thuspeople turn to old wells that pose higher healthrisks (latrines too close, clean rainwaterefficiently drained away).

Plans for flowsmust fit together.2. Improved drainage in neighborhoods leads to

erosion in the urban fringe. Plans for areasmust fit together.

3. Construction work performed well but manage-ment and maintenance fail.

Plans for actorsmust fit together.

in addition to efficiency, thereis agroupof criteria calledfit. They have to be specified for flowsand areasand actors.

Working with fit criteria

First, an analysis should provide the relevant

information: > Which flows ? (e.g. rainwater,groundwater, drinking water, waste water,solid waste, energy) > Which areas ? (e.g.houses. yards, streets, neighbourhoods, urban

fringe) > Which actors? (e.g. women,families, shopkeepers, agencies, NGOs).

Secondly, alternative plans (combinations oftechnologies, policies and spatial plans) can

be discussed using general criteria forsustainable plans and specific arguments fromthe local context.

Priorities for storage solutions

In an integrated perspective, efficient and

sustainable storage and augmentation can bestbe realized by decision makers if they follow thissequence of options:

1. First, realize the full potential of treated

wastewater and rainwater options.2. Then, use the potential of surface wateroptions.

3. And then, turn to aquifer based ESTs as athird option.

Priorities for supply solutionsUnder an integrated water resourcemanagement perspective, efficient andsustainable supply and distribution can best berealized by adapting priorities to decision-makingbased on the existing situation:1. In a traditional situation of wells, improving

this supply system has priority.2. If this is difficult and there is an immediate

need, delivery by trucks is an option.3. If there is a basis for financing and for

capacity building, piped water networksbecome feasible. Their development shouldgo hand in hand with on-site systems forsupply of drinking water and service water.

In an integrated water resource managementperspective, efficient and sustainable water use andsaving can best be realized by decision makers ifthey combine strategies:

1. In new developments water savingESTs should become part of design and

planning strategies from the beginning. Thisincludes strategies for maintenance. 2. Inexisting urban areas creating conditions iscrucial: financial incentives, technical

Priorities for reuse, recycling

& safe disposal

Under an integrated water resource managementperspective, the choice of reuse, recycling and safedisposal options follows these priorities:

1. Pollution prevention goes first. Roof-top rain-water and water from wells should retain

drinking water quality. 2.In urban situations with an existing piped

network, on-site rainwater and greywater treatment for service water should

have priority in quality management strategy.3. Reuse and recycle should have priority in

wastewater treatment both at a centralized anddecentralized level.
