Sinilar casting models were to have been set up for
the other activities of WDA, namely the bailding of
surface water catchment facilities, and the
installat ion of urban water supply systems.
Unfortunatefy, the limited manpower available to the
Planning Unit, and the lack of good cost data,
prevented this from being completed. This should be a
priority of WDA for the future, so that the relative
costs of alternative methods 05 providing water can be
cornpared. The comp~t-ehensive model designed for wall
construction should serve as a blueprint for this
exercise.
For the same reasons that prevented resource planning
schedules beinq established throughout the regions, it
was not possible to study in any depth the revenue
coX3ectian procedures of WDA. A Revenue Accounting
Manual (Coopers and Lybrand, 1884), is already in
existence which bas not been properly implemented.
Comments on the actual and potential pricing structure
are derived from the economic analysis, and are
presented in Section 4.0 of this volume of the report.
Observations from the Bay Region on the practice of
fee cclX1zction within the community around well sites
are Ciscussed in Section 3,U.
3. Socioeconomic monitoring and evaluation.
A socioecono=ic impact monitoring and evaluation
system was designed and also field tested in the Bay
Region. This is described in Section 3 -0 of this
volume of the report, where the limited data available
from the surveys carried out is also discussed,
4. Policy studies.
The policy sf~~dy objectives were very much a concern
in designing the monitoring and evaluation systems
which were tested and are presented Ln this report.
From the limited data collected, palicy options are
discussed as follaws:
1) wzter pricing economics in section 4.3,
2) the potential for community participation in
operation and maintenance in Section 2 .5,
3) control and methods of revenue collection, in
Section 3.8.
The Planning Unit has entered all barehole data from the
1973 UNDP/FAO st?~dy into a conputerised database.
~dditioaally, this initial well inventory includes all data
