The continued lack of access to adequate amounts of safe drinking
water is one of the primary causes of infant morbidity and
mortality worldwide and a serious situation which governments,
international agencies and private organizations are striving to
alleviate. Barriers to providing safe drinking water for rural
areas and small communities that must be overcome include the
financing and stability of small systems, their operation, and
appropriate, cost-effective technologies to treat and deliver water
to consumers. While we know how to technically produce safe
drinking water, we are not always able to achieve sustainable safe
water supplies for small systems in developed and developing
countries. Everyone wants to move rapidly to reach the goal of
universal safe drinking water, because safe water is the most
fundamental essential element for personal and social health and
welfare. Without safe water and a safe environment, sustained
personal economic and cultural development is impossible. Often
small rural systems are the last in the opportunity line. Safe
Drinking Water in Small Systems describes feasible technologies,
operating procedures, management, and financing opportunities to
alleviate problems faced by small water systems in both developed
and developing countries. In addition to widely used traditional
technologies this reference presents emerging technologies and
non-traditional approaches to water treatment, management, sources
of energy, and the delivery of safe water.
