Successful projects are locally supported by multiple types of stakeholders, leverage complementary funding sources where possible, and integrate benefits across a spectrum of services, including water supply and quality, public health and safety, environmental protection, economic stability and employment opportunities in impacted communities.  Evaluation of such projects requires the application of objective, quantifiable criteria to measure their potential and actual benefits.

5.
