Economics of sanitation initiative (ESI) What are the economic costs of poor sanitation and hygiene? WSP (2007)
The ESI studies conduct quantitative and qualitative assessments of the impacts of poor sanitation on health, water, tourism, and other welfare impacts. The impacts stem from well-established links between sanitation and disease incidence, water pollution — which also affects the productivity of water resources by way of lower fisheries output, productivity in work and school, and a country’s attractiveness as a
tourist destination.
