Water Supply and Sanitation Design

Most water supply systems in developing countries fail within five years of construction. Some fail as little as one year after construction. Designing water supply systems for long-term effectiveness and operation is a focus of WWW. With approximately 40 years of experience in the design, operation and maintenance of community water supply systems, World Water Watch experts (expert pool) look closely at community needs and capabilities in constructing and maintaining potable water systems. WWW develops improved design methods, system performance indicators and training activities, all directed toward more long-term efficient water supply system reliability.

Key elements of WWW’s program are the development and distribution of WEB-based design, and training and support modules utilized by field-based World Water Watch staff and

partner organizations. This support system covers all levels of communication, from computer-assisted modules, to field-based manuals and equipment.
