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)
Application of IWRM tools in WSS
• 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
Application of IWRM tools in WSS
• Role of economic instruments (C7.2-C7.3)– Internalize external environmental costs– Incentives for environmental investments– Cost-effective pollution control– Raising revenue
Application of IWRM tools in WSS
• 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
Application of IWRM tools in WSS
• Financing options (A3.2 and A3.3)– Public finance should be concentrated on public goods– Private goods should pay for themselves
