| Summary: | The report uses a theoretical model of a
typical drainage basin, but the approach could be applied to
many of the drainage basins managed by the holding company
for water and wastewater in Egypt. This study set out to
assess the relative health impacts of different wastewater
management strategies on health in the Nile delta region
using an approach similar to that used in the Ghana. The
ultimate objective was to develop a framework for long-term
investment planning based on monitoring of health and
productivity impacts of proposed Bank operations which could
be included in project Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E)
systems. This will equip task teams to assess the risks and
opportunities which arise due to the proposed shift from
on-site to networked sanitation in four governorates where
the Bank has wastewater operations. A secondary objective
was to assess the extent to which existing legislation
supports health riskbased planning. The conclusions of the
study provide an indication of how such methods could
increasingly be used to enable the selection of
cost-effective and appropriate wastewater management strategies. |
