Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document provides officials in developing countries with a manual that can assist in the planning of community piped water supply systems and is intended to be the basis for the preparation of country planning manuals. A checklist for planning and priorities for selection of projects precedes the elaboration of principles for planning. Principles include consideration of health, economic and social benefits; environmental and social constraints; and technical, economic, financial, logistic, institutional, and sociocultural considerations. The use of low-cost indigenous materials, simplicity for easy operation and maintenance, financial and institutional capacity, and community participation are emphasized. Project preparation, including project identification, pre-feasibility studies, monitoring and evaluation and technical planning are described. Technical subjects include water quality, system capacity, selection and development of sources, pumps, transmission lines, distribution networks, and water treatment. Attention is given to operation and maintenance, economic and financial considerations, logistic support, and local institutions, including human resources development.

Book excerpt: Efforts to improve the water supplies used by people in rural areas of developing countries have run into serious obstacles: not only are public funds not available to build facilities for all, but many newly constructed facilities have fallen into disrepair and disuse. Along with the numerous failures there are also successes in this sector. From these successes a new view has begun to emerge of what the guiding principles of rural water supply strategies should be. This book brings together and spells out the constituents of this emerging view. The central message is that it is the local people themselves, not those trying to help them, who have the most important role to play. The community itself must be the primary decisionmaker, the primary investor, the primary organizer, and the primary overseer. The authors examine the implications of this primary principle for the main policy issues - the level of service to be provided in different settings, the level and mechanisms for cost recovery, the roles for the private and public sectors, and the role of women. The potential advantages of proceeding from this outlook, instead of the older top-down approaches, are considerable. Improvement efforts are more likely to meet felt needs, new facilities are more likely to be kept in service, and more communities are more likely to get safe water sooner.

Download or read book Village Water Supply written by Robert J. Saunders and published by Johns Hopkins University Press. This book was released on 1976 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great majority of persons in rural areas of the developing world do not have access to a safe and convenient source of water, and where this is available, acceptable sewage disposal facilities are normally lacking. The authors examine a wide range of factors - physical, social, and economic - that are involved in improving the adequacy of water supply and sanitation in the coming years. Among the principal topics covered in detail are: (a) the character and extent of the problems connected with water supply and sanitation; (b) the goal of improved health, with specific reference to the relation between water supply and water-borne disease, on the one hand, and social and economic activity, on the other; (c) the effects of improved water supply and sanitation on productivity, incomes, rural-to-urban migration, and overall development; (d) problems of, and strategies for, program planning and administration; (e) the special problems of operation and maintenance; and (f) the importance of recovering program costs from beneficiaries. The book also contains a summary of findings of the study and lists a number of recommendations for improving rural water supply and sanitation.
