The Compendium of Water Supply Technologies in Emergencies offers a comprehensive and structured manual and planning guide on available water supply technology options in humanitarian settings. It disaggregates technologies into their functional components, clarifies terminology and provides guidance for identifying the most appropriate water supply technology solutions in a given context and for all relevant response phases of an emergency.
The document is primarily a capacity building tool and reference book that supports decision making when designing a water supply system. It offers concise information on key decision criteria for each technology and facilitates the combination of technologies to come up with full technical water supply system solutions. It also links the technologies to relevant cross-cutting issues and further resources.
The development of the compendium has been a collaborative effort of the German WASH Network and the University of Applied Science and Arts Northwestern Switzerland, together with Global WASH Cluster (GWC) partners and contributions from a multitude of international WASH experts and organisations. It is the second volume of the ‘Emergency WASH Compendium’ series, following the already existing Compendium of Sanitation Technologies in Emergencies. A third volume focusing on Hygiene Promotion in Emergencies will follow.
