Cost breakdown structure for life cycle cost of water pump

Life Cycle Costing (LCC) is an essential concept that is useful in reducing cost along a lifespan of an asset or equipment. LCC concepts have been introduced to water distribution system management; which is aimed to attain the lowest network provision and operating cost. However, there is slow adop...
