A few recommendations: Assessing the real cost of water
and cost of business as usual scenario Plan Bleu: 25% of water demand could
be saved by 2025 Charting Our Water Future, Economic frame-
works to inform decision-making, 2030 Water Resources Group/ McKinsey, 2009
Adopting precise and measurable targets and indicators about water allocation and water consumption
Ensuring economic viability of projects: the “3Ts” approach (OECD) Taxes, Tariffs and Transfers (ODA): 3 financial sources of water investment Achieving a sustainable cost recovery from a combination of these financial
sources: user charges, public budgets and ODA
Water should be taken into consideration in all economic development strategies (water consumption of tourism resorts, virtual water in agriculture and other industrial activities, etc.)
