37 Proforma F : To enable conclusions to be drawn Costsand Benefits not taken into account Impact Decision changers Injury and loss of life impacts Recreation enhancements Amenity aspects TASK 24 Assess any costs and benefits that the above analysis does not take into account. Make a judgement as to how large these are likely to be: could they be decision changers. If so, consider a full MCA analysis. Ecosystems services gains or losses Wildlife changes that provide no ecosystems services

38 The 1 st intervention (Closing of 3 National Road and Railway underpasses) is by far the most efficient, economically. The 2 nd intervention (Closing of 3 National Road and Railway underpasses AND Enhancing of the main by-pass channel in the irrigation network) appear to be less economic efficient. The 3 rd intervention (Closing of 3 National Road and Railway underpasses AND Enhancing of the main by-pass channel in the irrigation network AND Enhancing of the river s main embankment) appear to be the least economic efficient. TASK 25. Draw conclusions as to the economic efficiency of each proposed intervention

39 The 1 st intervention (Closing of 3 National Road and Railway underpasses) is the most sustainable, because of the very low maintenance costs. The 2 nd intervention (Closing of 3 National Road and Railway underpasses AND Enhancing of the main by-pass channel in the irrigation network) appear to be less sustainable than the 1 st. The 3 rd intervention (Closing of 3 National Road and Railway underpasses AND Enhancing of the main by-pass channel in the irrigation network AND Enhancing of the river s main embankment) appears to be the least sustainable. TASK 26. Draw conclusions as to the sustainability of each proposed intervention

40 The 1 st intervention (Closing the 3 National Road and Railway underpasses) is proposed to be contracted for detailed design and construction immediately. However, the competent authority should proceed with the implementation of the designs for all 3 interventions, in order to develop a holistic solution for the flooding problem in the case study area. TASK 27. Make recommendations as to which intervention to pursue further with (a) public consultations etc and (b) detailed design End of Proforma F
