Full Cost Recovery

Up to date, water management in Spain has been focused on supply approaches, with the result of providing consumers with this resource at a low price. Developments in the institutional framework regulating water management in the European context (mainly the implementation of the Water Framework Directive) have shifted this approach in order to promote sustainable water use. To achieve this objective, tariff policy must now take into account the water services cost-recovery principle for its different uses. Within this context, this paper estimates the public capital stock related to water supply and assesses the existing level of cost-recovery related to that stock. The methodology used, compares the tax level needed for full-cost recovery with actual revenues from different water-related taxes. The case study area is Gallego River basin in Aragon, and results show the low cost- recovery level for most water services.

Full Cost Recovery

Sleman is Badan Usaha Milik Daerah engaged in water services . Apart from being required to be able to meet the water needs of the customer , PDAM Sleman should be wise in determining water rates are economically viable in order to cover expenses incurred to earn the income . Therefore, analysis of water rates is needed to support revenue growth and taps in accordance with Peraturan Menteri Dalam Negeri Nomor 23 Tahun 2006 article 5 paragraf 1of the PDAM revenues must meet cost recovery principle (full cost recovery ) . In examining the water use rate formula of Peraturan Menteri Dalam Negeri Nomor 23 Tahun 2006 and the data used is the financial statement data PDAM Sleman 2009 till 2012. The calculations show the basic water rates , low rates , and the rates prevailing on the taps full Sleman not meet the principle of full cost recovery. From the results of the study also note that the rate of water from PDAM Sleman 2009 data up to 2012 have not been economically viable because they can not cover the entire cost of business or do not meet the principle of full cost recovery.

Disasters are always caused by a combination of factors, and the natural phenomenon that brings them on is usually just a catalyst. The underlying cause of most disasters is poverty as mostly the poor segments of the population usually live in high risk areas where their shelter all too often cannot withstand even light winds, small inundations or medium earthquakes. When Hurricane Mitch hit Central America in October 1998, all countries were ill prepared. A few weeks earlier, the authorities of the Honduran capital, Tegucigalpa, had attempted to simulate an evacuation, but it had met with a great degree of resistance from the public. When Mitch hit, unprecedented masses of water raced down the mountainous river beds. People were taken by surprise, as no efficient organisation existed. Everybody ran for their lives. Houses slid down hillsides, rivers swept bridges, houses and people with them. Six years later, Tegucigalpa looks very similar to the days before Mitch. The steep hillsides are covered with a potpourri of dwellings, from miserable huts to solid upmarket houses. Regulations were passed in the year 2002 to prohibit construction in high risk areas; however, enforcement is difficult, especially when existing buildings are renovated and even enlarged. Theoretically it is possible to evacuate high risk areas. Nonetheless, such drastic measures are virtually impossible to implement, as no mayor or police chief would survive such an action in office. The paper presents a case study which shows that the underlying problems of poverty and the non-availability of suitable land for people to relocate from high risk areas can usually not be overcome by post-disaster reconstruction programmes. A mitigation strategy is thus to empower inhabitants of high risk areas to improve their own situation by affordable access to information, advice and suitable low cost construction materials through “Building Advisory Services” and Ecomaterials producers within the neighbourhoods.

The right decision in national economy sector can only be obtained with excellent national economic data quality. Unfortunately, the collection process of true, accurate and complete national data is still expensive and time-consuming. Therefore, this study offers crowdsourcing as an alternative method towards the collection process of national data with low cost and dynamic. With case study basic commodity prices data collection nationwide, this method proved to empower the public as the owner of the data on self-reported commodities price in their region through an Android application, available for free on Google Play Store. This study was conducted for a year starting from January 2 to December 31, 2015. At the end of the study period, there were 7,442 people who have participated actively with an even distribution in all provinces in Indonesia. The amount of new user is 34 people per day with data entry is more than 400 data per day, and continues to increase.
