The UN Water Decade has been the catalyst for much research and
development in water-related fields, and one result of the Decade
has been improved dissemination of the water technologies being
developed. Community Water Development presents some of the best
material from leading researchers and practitioners in rural water
supply in developing countries. The book sets out the original
concepts and field experience for the development of appropriate
technologies for water supply, and illustrates the changes in
thinking which have taken place over the Decade. The various
sections, originally published over seven years as articles in
Waterlines and Appropriate Technology magazines, cover sources of
supply, pumping methods, transport and storage as well as education
and training, and questions of planning and management. People
remain at the heart of every contributor's concerns, and overall
the sixty articles will provide and invaluable tool for anyone
concerned with community-sensitive approaches to water-supply
problems, whether they are teachers, students or engineers.
