allocation and water consumption
Ensuring economic viability of projects: the “3Ts” approach (OECD) Taxes, Tariffs and Transfers (ODA): 3 financial sources of water investment Achieving a sustainable cost recovery from a combination of these financial sources: user charges, public budgets and ODA Water should be taken into consideration in all economic development
strategies (water consumption of tourism resorts, virtual water in agriculture and other industrial activities, etc.)
