Tool Characteristics

Name of the tool
Care-W-Arp

Data required to utilise tool
Data required are information on the pipe: diameter, length, material use, date of placing, presence of failures, and information on the pipe environment including quality of surrounding soil, surface type, presence of other close network of electricity or gas, number of people supplied, presence of sensible clients, etc.

Form of output
Rehabilitation programme

Type of data output
Essentially Quantitative. The tool uses performance indicators that can be quantified and measured. For example, means rehabilitation (% / year), water losses (m3 / connection / year) or service complaints per connection (No. complaints / 1000 connection / year) are indicators used. However the use of Care-W-Arp improves discussions between engineers and decision makers in providing more transparent rehabilitation programme, which is a non-negligible qualitative output.
