Description

This toolkit on investing in small piped water networks (SPWNs) offers guidance to governments, development agencies, utilities, and civil society in putting up or implementing piped water projects using the SPWN concept for urban poor or rural communities without access to piped water systems.

The tool kit was conceived and developed as a result of the lessons and experiences from an ADB study on Implementing Pilot Projects for Small Piped Water Networks, as well as from the experiences of professionals and development agencies in implementing similar projects.
