| Publisher Description: This book gives decision makers, health professionals and analysts a comprehensive view of the arguments and challenges associated with establishing the value of drinking-water interventions. The experts who have contributed to this publication provide guidance on assessing the benefits from improving access to safe drinking water and from reducing the burden of water-related diseases. They show how to compare the value of these benefits to the costs of the interventions, with special reference to small-scale drinking water systems. |
