This paper explores the key differences between a financial analysis of reuse or desal (which is based solely on the cash flows of expenses and revenues in and out of the utility), and an economic analysis that provides a more suitable and broader perspective of the value of the reuse or desal-generated waters (i.e., provides a suitable benefit-cost perspective for considering if a reuse investment is worth the expense, to the broader region and community as a whole). This paper describes on-going research for AwwaRF, the WateReuse Foundation (WRF), and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) to provide a suitable economic framework with which to examine the full real value of reuse or desal waters, and to properly compare these benefits to their costs.
