Researchers need to be able assess loss life in monetary terms include this social impact decision-making processes. Specifically, if no measure implemented correct situation, these costs can considered as non-action water This study assesses importance measuring healthcare proxy economic assessment consequences. Thanks analysis, it possible identify health produced current environmental making obtain an baseline scenario prior implementation any project or measure. approach novelty literature since, date, have not been related costs. Including feasibility studies allow us detail both benefits develop water-quality improvement projects.
