Two examples extracted from this report are proposed in Box 4.7. Short-run benefits include, amongst others, money saved on water bills and on the costs of producing water (with avoided electricity costs when leakage is reduced for example. For example, data analysed for the Aquitaine region (Talpaert, 2005) show that water savings of 45 m3per year could be achieved for a 2 member household. Multiplied by the water price, this would mean a reduction in the water bill of EUR 122 per year.
