Beschrijving
Since the World Water Forum 2003 in Kyoto, the interest in small-scale low-cost water technologies has increased. This booklet on water gives exemples of innovations such as the use of sunlight to purify water, effective low-cost water filters, low-cost drip irrigation and locally prodcued hand pumps that are five times cheaper than imported pumps. By usiing these technologies, poor rural families can double or even triple their annual income. The book is designed as a source of inspiration, rather than a 'how to' manual.
This publication is the result of a collaboration effort by a number of organisations:
NWP, Practica, IRC, Simavi, Aqua for All, Agromisa, Partners voor Water, NCDO.
