Synopsis

Based on direct field experience, this title discusses the stages in the development of local water supplies, from the initiation of a programme through to the community management of a supply system. The importance of involving all the members of a community in decisions about water provision is emphasized, as is the need to incorporate hygiene education from the outset. Many short case-studies, drawn from the practical experience of the authors, are used throughout the book to illustrate the application of a partnership approach in practice.
