Rural water supply handpumps project. Handpumps testing and development : proceedings of a workshop in China
Tschannerl, Gerhard | Bryan, Kedar
The UNDP/World Bank Project for Laboratory and Field Testing and Technological Development of Rural Water Supply Handpumps is one of the activities being carried out as part of the United Nations' International Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Decade. The objective of the Project is to support the global effort to provide reliable low-cost water supply systems to serve those in need of adequate sources of water in rural and urban fringe areas. Handpumps installed in dug wells or boreholes in areas where groundwater is available provide one of the simplest and least costly methods of supplying these areas with water. This report presents the proceedings of the "Workshop on the State of the Art and Application of Handpumps and on Water Supply and Sanitation", held in Changsha, People's Republic of China, as part of the Project's activities. The report contains those papers submitted to the Workshop Secretariat and presented by representatives of developing countries and bilateral and international aid and development agencies participating in the Project activities. The major conclusions of the workshop and a short summary of the presentations are given in the Overview. The list of participants and workshop program are provided in the annexes.
