ECLAC HANDBOOK FOR ESTIMATING THE IMPACT OF DISASTERS1 Estimating damage to soil.. When damages are associated to pollution, inundation or drought There are no direct damages since the natural resource base recovers naturally over a period relatively short Indirect damages are estimated by the temporary reduction in production (agricutlural sector, tourism, commerce, etc.)

ECLAC HANDBOOK FOR ESTIMATING THE IMPACT OF DISASTERS2 Reduction in water resources

ECLAC HANDBOOK FOR ESTIMATING THE IMPACT OF DISASTERS3 Damages to water Damages caused by Direct damages Indirect damages PollutionIncreased costs and reduced income of existing treatment plants Damage or destruction in works Rehabilitation value or reconstruction of existing works Increased costs and reduced incomes from providing services

ECLAC HANDBOOK FOR ESTIMATING THE IMPACT OF DISASTERS4 Estimating damages to water When water damage is associated with pollution Indirect effects are estimated through the increase in costs and income decreases of the existing treatment plants, and The cost of introducing new treatment plants (annual expenditures in projects) The cost of introducing new treatment plants (annual expenditures in projects) When damages occur in water works: The direct cost is associated to the rehabilitation and reconstruction of existing systems, and The direct cost is associated to the rehabilitation and reconstruction of existing systems, and The indirect effects come from expenditure increases and diminished operational income of the enterprise that provides the service The indirect effects come from expenditure increases and diminished operational income of the enterprise that provides the service
