Brandon, Carter, 1984, Ecozo~ic Evaluatian of the
Csmprzhensive Groundwater Development Project.
A2 eccnonic evaluation was undertaken after two years into
the well construction activities of the project. The intention
of the study was to advance the knowledge of the costs and
benefits cf the project. A definitive evaluation of benefits
gas nor p~ssibZe because of insufficient end user data. The
repart covered three najor activities that included an analysis
05:
1" The fgll costs of the groundwater development program,
2. The projected benefits, and
3- The lung-tern operating and zaintenance c~sts.
Although the resulting casts appeared high, close analysis of
assumptions nade and items included indicate that given the same
lcgistical and material costs, the well costs would be
zoxpara52e to those afaost anphere.
Updated analyses, and details of the campuler model now
avaifoble to obttin the data, are included in this report. End
zsex data is still sparse, and ecanamfc evaluation af benefits
is difficult, however, some prajections were made,
Final Report, Phase 1, 1986
