Abstract: Using information in the public domain and data from a pilot study, this paper argues that adoption of life-cycle cost approaches (LCCA) could play a significant role in rectifying this situation by providing a framework for identifying and plugging gaps in the present pattern of expenditure. It is argued also that LCCA will provide a sound basis for operationalising the Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) Guidelines released by the Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Water Mission in 2009. [CESS WP No. 88].
