Abstract

Policy and planning for the provision of water supply and sanitation services in developing countries. Reviews available technologies, but emphasizes the planning and policy process, including economic, social, environmental, and health issues. Incorporates considerations of financing, pricing, institutional structure, consumer demand, and community participation in the planning process. Evaluates policies and projects in case studies from Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Central and Eastern Europe.
