| Description |
People require water for a wide range of activities essential to their livelihoods. These include both domestic as well as productive uses, which bring multiple benefits. However, multiple uses and benefits are often not addressed in an integrated way. Failing to recognise multiple uses will lead to
failure to capitalise on the multiple benefits in terms of poverty reduction, and can even have a negative impact on sustainability.
Cognisant of this fact, this case study takes a closer look at whether the benefits of multiple use services outweigh the costs that they bring along, and what the relationship is between costs and benefits of multiple use as compared with costs and benefits of single use. For this purpose, three cases were selected for an in-depth costs benefit analysis.
