A Typology of Water Infrastructure Projects - World Water Council

A Typology of Water Infrastructure Projects - Task Force on Financing Water Infrastructure World Water Council

Prepared by Alex Money

Summary:
Water infrastructure projects could be made more ‘bankable’ by improving how their investment case is made. We propose a typology of water projects that aims to reduce the information asymmetries that exist between projects and finance.

Through an outcomes-based approach to evaluate risk and return, the framework draws on models that are increasingly being used to measure progress against the Sustainable Development Goals. We propose a classification that is adaptive to the varying expectations of project investors, based on the  scope, system, structure, security and sustainability of different projects
