Past costs were adjusted for inflation, material and labour  cost fluctuations.  In this study, the most important cost determinants were found to be  design wastewater flow, BOD loading and population equivalent. Suspended  solid loading was also a significant determinant of chemical treatment  capital cost.  This study revealed that influent BOD had no direct effect on the cost.  Influent COD was instead one of the cost determinants of oxidation ditch  capital cost.  The empirical cost equations developed in this study are just for es-  timation. With some modification and restriction, they may help to deter-  mine actual costs. 10aWater quality managementxNepalxPhewa Lake1 aNguyen, Cong Thanh,eChairperson1 aOrth, H.M.,eExamination Committee0 aSamorn Muttamara,eExamination Committee2 aUSAID-ASEAN,eScholarship Donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tThesis ;vno.
