Effectiveness Analysis

The Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) is the method most commonly used for the assessment of the costs and effectiveness of alternative policy options on the environment. The objective of this paper is to describe the priority of the policy area “coastal water pollution control from land uses, in catchment area” in the frame of an Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM). The evaluation of related ICZM options is effected through use of the CEA; this policy area can be a distinct study, on which other seafront management ICZM policy areas can be based. This is also based on the fact that the indicators used in the Coastal water pollution control from land uses policy area are different from the indicators for seafront management. The differences in ICZM indicators result to a lower number of variables, and consequently to a better development and use of all the data. In the present work the indicators needed for the application of the CEA in the water quality policy area are identified.

Role Of The State

Water pollution control in South Africa is discussed from the point of view of cost and available sources of revenue. It is shown how state interests in water are generated and how the present system of water pollution control is derived from this. An example concerning the mineralisation of the water resources of the central Transvaal industrial area is used to illustrate social cost. The position of local authorities with regard to income and expenditure on water-based services is examined in detail. The role of the State in these matters is determined. The conclusions drawn from the survey and a discussion of the elementary theory of water price are used to construct a motivation for a tax system, designed to curb pollution and to reimburse major water purchasers.

Following Master Plan studies by the World Health Organisation and other consultant sanitary engineers on wastes disposal, the Maltese Government implemented in successive stages projects aimed at the abatement of the pollution of bays and seaside resorts around the island, culminating in the laying of a submarine outfall to discharge some 90 % of the sewage produced on the island. After thus cleaning the blue coastal waters, sewage has been reclaimed for the beneficial use by the farming community. This case study describes three projects carried out in order to achieve the aims stated.

An estimated 80 % of all illnesses in developing countries is in one way or another related to water. In order to alleviate this most serious condition, the united Nations has initiated the “International Water Decade”, for which the estimated costs are $600 000 million, a sum which is far beyond any available means. By application of “low-cost technology” this sum could be reduced to $100 000 million which brings the objective within the reach of possibility. Details are given of the design and methods of construction of units which are best suited to the specific requirements and which would be simple, reliable and economical to operate. These can be constructed largely from local materials and by local labour. The need for appropriate training of both operators and the user population is stressed.

The Second Songhua River

The paper takes the Second Songhua River as an object for research and selects Thomas's BOD-DO stable model as the initial structure on the basis of overall investigations and analyses on water pollution in every reach. In view of the characteristics of the river being located at the north, values k’1, k’2 and k’3 in dry season of winter were determined and calculated, and a series analyses have been made. The self-purification ability of the river and the total elimination amount of the main pollutants BOD5 were also calculated. In order to minimize the required cost, we distributed the cost to the main pollution sources, which are to be controlled. We firstly set a cost function of sewage treatment plant by series design and calculated the related cost parameters, then calculated two kinds of optimal distributing models of BOD5 elimination, which were a mathematical model of extreme value of conditions and a matrix mathematical model. Now they have been applied to the practical pollution control plan for the Second Songhua River.
