Description

The module introduces managerial and multi-criteria approaches to the evaluation of water services.

The module focuses on the management of drinking water and sanitation services, as well as irrigation water services. It provides an understanding and a critical vision of the management tools of these services.

The module is organized in 3 main steps:

  • Analysis and evaluation of the economic, financial and technical performance of water and sanitation utilities, with a focus on financial analysis and performance indicators of water utilities
  • Environmental assessment with a presentation of global approaches (Life Cycle Assessment) versus local approaches.
  • An analysis of the sustainability of services

 

The course is based on concrete case studies to illustrate the various concepts covered. Particular emphasis is placed on the relative character of performance, a multi-dimensional notion that evolves over time and varies according to the points of view considered.
