Beyond reducing the water-born and water-washed diseases, providing better access to improved water and sanitation confers many other diverse benefits ranging from the easily identifiable and quantifiable (costs avoided, time saved) to the more intangible and difficult to measure (convenience, well-being). As much as feasible, these must be taken into account in a cost-benefit analysis .

 

1- the cost-offsets. These are the costs avoided due to less illness. The related benefits accrue to both the health sector and to patients themselves. Cost savings in health care are mainly due to the reduced number of treatments of diarrhoeal cases. Also, patients will avoid costs incurred by seeking treatment, including expenditures on care, drugs and transport and the opportunity costs of time spent on seeking care. The National cost savings of intervention would be US$50 million per year, and would be raised to US$70.3 million per year if we add waste water treatment to it..

 

 

2- benefits of less illness are the avoided days lost, with respect to formal employment or farmers , other productive activities in the household, or school attendance. They are traditionally split into two main types: gains related to lower morbidity and gains related to less death. This analysis adopted the convention that time spent .

 

 

3- Creating jobs: every and each unit will need 5 people to operate it which means creating 5000 direct jobs.

 

 

4- Attracting foreign and local investments: based on our discussion with main pump manufacturer and up on the project approval and due to the amount of pumps needed "8000 pumps" major pump manufacturers will be considering building pump factory to be able to provide for the Program which will turn Egypt in four years time to an exporting hub for pumps to the MENA area and Africa and will establish an industry
