Abstract
Costs and benefits of reclaiming and reusing Beijing’s municipal wastewater were analyzed based on the 2010 figures. The evaluation took into account the tangible categories of capital investment, operation and maintenance, chemical reagents, and revenues and the intangible categories of environmental improvements, public health impacts, and groundwater recharge and pollution. The outcomes showed the water reuse program would generate a net benefit of 712 million RMB, and the total benefits were 1.7 times of the costs. The inclusion of intangible benefits in the analysis provided extra incentives to go forward with the water reuse project.
