Water safety plans (WSPs) are endorsed by the World Health Organization as the most effective method of protecting a water supply. With the increase in WSPs worldwide, several valuable resources have been developed to assist practitioners in the implementation of WSPs, yet there is still a need for a practical and standardized method of evaluating WSP effectiveness. In 2012, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published a conceptual framework for the evaluation of WSPs, presenting four key outcomes of the WSP process: institutional, operational, financial and policy change. In this paper, we seek to operationalize this conceptual framework by providing a set of simple and practical indicators for assessing WSP outcomes. Using CDC's WSP framework as a foundation and incorporating various existing performance monitoring indicators for water utilities, we developed a set of approximately 25 indicators of institutional, operational, financial and policy change within the WSP context. These outcome indicators hold great potential for the continued implementation and expansion of WSPs worldwide. Having a defined framework for evaluating a WSP's effectiveness, along with a set of measurable indicators by which to carry out that evaluation, will help implementers assess key WSP outcomes internally, as well as benchmark their progress against other WSPs in their region and globally.

制定衡量水安全计划成果的指标。

世界卫生组织认可水安全计划（WSP）是保护供水的最有效方法。随着世界范围内WSP的增加，已经开发了一些有价值的资源来帮助从业人员实施WSP，但是仍然需要一种实用且标准化的评估WSP有效性的方法。2012年，疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）发布了WSP评估的概念框架，提出了WSP流程的四个关键成果：机构，运营，财务和政策变更。在本文中，我们试图通过提供一套简单而实用的指标来评估WSP成果，来实现这一概念框架的运作。使用CDC' 作为WSP框架的基础，并结合了各种自来水公司的绩效监测指标，我们在WSP范围内制定了大约25项机构，运营，财务和政策变化指标。这些成果指标对于继续在世界范围内实施和扩大水安全计划具有巨大潜力。建立一个确定的WSP有效性评估框架以及一套可衡量的指标来进行该评估，将帮助实施者在内部评估WSP的关键成果，并对照其所在地区和全球范围内的其他WSP评估其进度。这些成果指标对于继续在世界范围内实施和扩大水安全计划具有巨大潜力。建立一个确定的WSP有效性评估框架以及一套可衡量的指标来进行该评估，将帮助实施者在内部评估WSP的关键成果，并对照其所在地区和全球范围内的其他WSP评估其进度。这些成果指标对于继续在世界范围内实施和扩大水安全计划具有巨大潜力。建立一个确定的WSP有效性评估框架以及一套可衡量的指标来进行该评估，将帮助实施者在内部评估WSP的关键成果，并对照其所在地区和全球范围内的其他WSP评估其进度。
