It helps local governments, Tribal nations, and utilities plan and budget for lead service line replacements.
The calculator promotes open access to infrastructure cost modeling and supports data-driven decision-making aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation, SDG 11 – Sustainable Cities, and SDG 13 – Climate Action).
LSLRCC enables users to estimate total and per-line replacement costs for materials, excavation, labor, administration, contingency, and post-replacement activities. While © EPHI, the tool is freely accessible for public, educational, and institutional use to promote equitable, climate-resilient water infrastructure investments.

TWAP Indicators for Small Island Development States

At present the system contains mainly information derived from the Transboundary Waters Assessment Program (TWAP) on 43 SIDS. The data include indicators describing the hydrogeological, environmental, socio-economic and governance dimensions of the SIDS groundwater systems.
The data have been derived from questionnaire surveys and an extensive desk-top study executed by the Simon Frasier University (Canada) and coordinated by UNESCO-IHP. Data in the system can be explored and analysed using a map based viewer, which is particularly useful to make comparative analyses of multiple SIDS. Additionally SIDS information sheets are also available providing clear overviews per SIDS. Further data on SIDS will be collected and uploaded into the SIDS viewer as they become available.
For any queries or comments on the SIDS data and information, please visit our SIDS Focal Area page. (https://www.un-igrac.org/areas-expertise/small-island-developing-states-sids)
