In 2012, the municipality of Ensenada in Mexico was facing deficit of water supply of 130 liters per second. Additionally, Ensenada’s growing population; Valle de Guadalupe’s developing winegrowing industry; the area’s touristic boom; and the increase in commercial exchange with East Asia were further straining this already insufficient supply. To help address this issue, the public authorities decided to pursue the construction of desalination plant in Ensenada.

To increase the opportunities for local companies to participate in the project, the public utility was split into two coverage areas, comprising the portions of the city to the east and west of the Ciliwung River in Jakarta, respectively.

Busembatia is a small town located in Uganda with a population of about 14,500 people. Its water sources are limited and the ones it has are often contaminated, affecting the health and economic well-being of the people of Busembatia.

Water pricing is an important and effective mechanism to reflect the scarcity value of water. Water is priced not only to recover the full costs of its supply and production, but also to incorporate the higher cost of producing water from unconventional sources, specifically NEWater and desalinated water. 

The water price was last revised in 2000, over the period from 1997 to 2000. 

This Worked Example looks at a hypothetical wastewater treatment facility in a developing country.

Annex 1 of the Annex for IRI Guide:

The Worked Examples are provided to demonstrate to practitioners how the Guidelines can be applied to projects. The Worked Examples are hypothetical project business cases and include hypothetical financial assessments with key project information. 

The study's estimates and projections are based on theoretical amounts of water, nutrients, and energy that exist in the reported municipal wastewater produced worldwide annually.
