The project involves finding the intersection between major global economic and social challenges and business’s unique ability to resolve them. It is about creating value – value that endures -- through an interconnected system of stakeholders where business takes the lead
3. Economic Implications
$32 billion in economic benefits each year from
reductions in health care costs and increased productivity
from reduced illness
Annual aid for water and sanitation amounts to only $8
billion, far short of the $1 trillion needed to solve
this crisis and maintain it long term
Every $1 invested in water and sanitation provides a
$4 economic return

Water: Desalinates Ocean
Water to drinkable water
Electricity: Doesn't need to
be connected to an electric
grid. Watly produces off-
grid electricity
Communications: Powerful
communication device that
can collect and send any

13. Value in disruptive system
• Manilla currently offers water at $1.25 for the low income consumers
• Our technology proposes $.60 providing a 52% cost reduction.
• Easy to integrate with current water provide
• Disruptive technology offered by Watly targets low income
populations
• Bonds repayable over 25 years with convenient repayment terms
17. What is the right Water Rates calculate strategy
Two basic premises:
● All water drawn from the water system must be accounted and paid
● Rates must be high enough to meet the financial requirements of the district (for
self-sufficiency),
but low enough to be within the ability to pay of the majority of users (for public
service).
• A good rate strategy should consider the following factors:
Ability to pay of the users - socio economic condition in the district.
Cash requirements of the district - operational expenses and capital investment.
Enforceability of the rates - can be justified and made acceptable to the public.
Availability of reliable data - basis of realistic computations.
A good rate structure should combine the following chief characteristics:
Revenue oriented, which gives primary consideration to financial requirements.
Service oriented, which is primarily designed to favor the low income group.
18. Two general water rate calculate methods
REVENUE-UNIT METHOD (RUM)
Revenue Units (RU) = Higher Minimum Charge (MC) + Uniform Commodity
Charge (CC)
(regardless of consumption)
Application:
• Most applicable to newly-formed water districts.
More applicable to districts with lesser concessionaires and with abundant
water supply.
Applies the cross-customer subsidy in the first 10 cu.m. of consumption in
the form of minimum charge, based on the size of connection.
Applies a low uniform commodity charge regardless of consumption rate.
The effective cost of water tends to decrease as consumption increases.
19. QUANTITY-BLOCK METHOD (QBM)
• High levels of consumption would have higher costs
• It is less revenue oriented and more public-service oriented than RUM
• This method quantity blocks (QB, 10 cu.m/per block)
pay uniform unit price per block + per block * assigned conversion
factors
• The effective cost of water tends to increase as consumption rate.
