Why do we need a Case study?

Theoretical description

Synthezied memory

Practical implementation

Why do we want to show a case study?

• offers a critical examination of real events• provides information about how different policy

tools can be used for IWRM• helps people to learn from experience in the

implementation of more sustainable water strategies and policies

• provides a valuable dissemination mechanism for improving understanding of IWRM.

Typical format of case study

1. Problem(s) to be addressed

2. Actions taken

3. Outcomes (expected & unexpected, impact of action, resources needed, sustainability of outcomes)

4. Lessons learned (what is useful for others)

5. Links and other supporting information

Criteria for the case study• Cases are not limited to “good” stories – “bad”

stories are also welcomed

• Cases should– illustrate the application of tools shown in the

TB– have overall relevance to IWRM – with lessons

about how an IWRM approach supports water management across sectors

– Reflect both pros and cons

What is not a case study

• Something what did not happen in a reality• “Theoretical” issues• Guidelines or recommendations how and what

should be done• Something what did not bring the results (good

or bad)

EXAMPLE FOR A GOOD USE OF IWRM TOOLBOX

Project Rationale&Objectives

Demand Analysis& Demand Forecasting Institutional Assessment

Identify Gaps between Future Demand&Existing Facilities

Identify technical alternatives to meet the gap

Apply Least-cost or Cost-effectiveness analysis

Apply Cost – Benefit Analysis

Tariff design, subsidy, enumeration

Measures for Optimum Use of Existing Facilities

Sustainability analysis and plan/ distribution effect of project

WSS Project Scheme










Tools: B1&B2WSS Project Scheme

Application of IWRM tools in WSS

• Better governance and institutional reforms (B1 and B2)– Camdessus: ”increasing financial flows will make no

sense unless there is an equally effort to reform the way the world tackles its water problem” – pouring new $ into old managment will not be sustainable solution.










Tools

C2.8 &(C2.6)


• Economic assessment (C2.8)– Cost recovery principle (all the life-cycle costs)– Demand estimation for urban and rural areas are

usually different• Environmental impact assessment (C2.6)

– EIA also facilitates public consultation and allows the authority to make better decisions










C7.1-7.3


• Role of economic instruments (C7.2-C7.3)– Internalize external environmental costs– Incentives for environmental investments– Cost-effective pollution control– Raising revenue


• Water pricing (C7.1)– Tariff is monetary amount

paid by users for all the water services they receive; not equivalent to water bill (this might include non-water related elements)

– Tariff sends price signals to users about the relationship between water use and water scarcity










C3.1-3.3

Application of IRWM tools in WSS

• Managing Demand and Supply (C3.1-3.3)– Better efficiency of water use

• Technologies exist• Education and communication campaigns should target direct users

– Recycling and resuse• Technologies exist but are very costly and not always user-friendly

– Better efficiency of supply• Technologies (e.g. leakage and pressure reduction) exist• Metering and pricing systems act as incentives

– Sustainable sanitation concept• Ecological sanitation• Open waste water planning










A3.2-3.3


• Financing options (A3.2 and A3.3)– Public finance should be concentrated on public goods– Private goods should pay for themselves
