Sustainability Tool Sample Clauses

Sustainability Tool. For the quantitative portion of this evaluation, a tool was developed using information and suggestions from the literature, LWW, and the researcher’s own knowledge. This tool guided the development of the survey and enabled the researcher to determine a sustainability score based on the survey responses on a 0-4 scale. Appendix 1 contains the actual sustainability tool. The tool has several layers. Each layer will be explained in greater detail. Domains: Montgomery, et al (2009) suggest three areas to consider when evaluating sustainability of water supply interventions: effective community demand, financing and cost recovery, and dynamic operation and maintenance. These domains were found to be appropriate for evaluating small-scale water suppliers, including LWW, after a review of more of the literature. The domains were also similar to ones found in the preliminary sustainability tool that LWW had been developing. Therefore, this framework was used to assess the sustainability of LWW’s systems. The final domains used were Management, Operations, and Maintenance (MO&M); Cost Recovery and Financing; and Understanding of Demand.3 Subcategories:4 Within each domain, several subcategories were identified that were specific to different aspects of the water plants and their operation. In the MO&M category, these included staff, operations, maintenance, and network/support. ‘Staff’ questions asked about the employees: their work hours, whether they are paid, whether they are trained, and the leadership structure. ‘Operations’ questions asked about the plant operation and management: availability and use of raw water, monitoring of activities, and cooperation with local authorities. ‘Maintenance’ questions asked about the maintenance activities, schedule, water testing, and availability of spare parts. ‘Network/support’ questions asked about potential 3 Each of these domains was considered from the perspective of the plant and the supply of water. In research that was taking place simultaneously, another researcher was also considering factors affecting demand from the consumer’s perspective.
