in determining this economic value the different perspectives of
households and States should be taken into account
• a State should carefully consider users’ perceptions about the economic
value of water interventions as they determine how the services are
being used; and the willingness of users to contribute financially to
investment, operations and maintenance (cost recovery)
• individual decisions on investments should be considered as steps along
a long water development path. (Each decision should be economically
justified. To account for uncertainties in the future, scenario analysis
should be used to explore alternative future states of the world.)
Coping capacity and water security
Increasing water security often requires a combination of technical,
economic, operational, legal, and institutional interventions. The concept
of water security can help to determine which measures have priority. The
choice of measures depends on the conditions and on the goals. Each specific
situation has its own issues and context that influence what can and should
be done. Table 2 shows degrees of water stress (low or high) and financial
and governance capacities to cope with water security issues (Ait Kadi &
Arriens, 2012). It describes the particular water security issues that may exist
under these conditions and the measures that can be taken to increase water
security at the national level.
