Access to adequate water, sanitation, drainage and solid waste disposal are four inter-related basic needs which impact significantly on socio-economic development and
quality of life. The number of people around the world who still do not have access
to these basic facilities, despite enormous global effort over more than two decades,
provides sufficient evidence that conventional approaches and solutions alone are
unable to make a sufficient dent in the service backlog which still exists. Numerous
initiatives are ongoing at different levels to improve strategies, technologies, institutional arrangements, socio-cultural anchorage, and cost effectiveness, all to enhance
efficiency and, eventually, to have an impact on the sector's goals. In addition, the
ever-increasing scarcity of water brings policymakers together to find solutions to the
challenge of water resource management. This series of manuals is intended as a
contribution to these efforts.
