A Benefit-Cost Analysis of Groundwater Desalination: A Case Study of the Chino Groundwater Basin
Conference Proceeding by American Water Works Association, 11/01/2009

Document Format: PDF

Description

This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of exploring the benefits and costs of desalination, using the ChinoBasin experience as an illustrative case study, along with a sequence of approaches (good, better, best) and applying a Triple Bottom Line(TBL) approach. The study evaluated desal as a potable supply option by using a relative cost perspective (good, but limited), and by using a benefit-cost perspective (better, but still limited). Finally, the study evaluates desal in the context of an integrated regional waterresources management strategy (best), focusing on the benefits and costs of the Optimum Basin Management Program (OBMP) as a whole, and the value of desal within the context of OBMP. Includes table, figures.
