Health Impact Assessment for Sustainable Water Management is a
pioneering international text, exploring and developing this
emerging discipline. It is the first to take an international
perspective seeking to draw generic lessons from both the developed
and developing nations' experience in this new area of activity.
The approach is being applied in policy development to strengthen
the 'evidence-base' and across a wide spectrum of resource
developments, industrial and urban infrastructure projects and in
'aid' projects in developing countries. This book illustrates the
importance of considering health in water management developments
and demonstrates the role of health impact assessment (HIA) in this
process. Case-studies illustrate a range of management approaches
to different system implementation issues and scale factors,
ranging from domestic rainwater harvesting for the supply of
non-potable water to a large-scale hydroelectric project. The
concept, objectives, terminology and challenges of HIA are
introduced and illustrated by case studies including rainwater
harvesting, greywater reuse, sustainable drainage and evaluations
of the health impacts of flooding. Developing country case studies
include a small-scale irrigation project in Zimbabwe, a large
hydro-electric scheme in Lao (Peoples Democratic Republic) and the
implementation issues surrounding the use of domestic wastewater as
a resource in demand by agricultural enterprises in Pakistan. The
case studies illustrate different HIA approaches, including the use
of quantitative and qualitative information and provide benchmarks
of current practice for practitioners seeking to apply HIA in the
emerging agendas in both developed and developing nations. The
critical appraisals within each chapter offer both best practice
exemplars as well as explanations of problems and mistakes of past
project implementation, and define the requirements for the policy
communities who will be increasingly required to accommodate HIA
information in resource allocation decisions. As a result, this
book will be of interest to planners, developers, policy makers,
public health, environmental and water utility scientists and
practitioners.
