Water Supply and Sanitation in Development: Solutions and People
Sign in to track this film in your collection or want list.
Shows that even the most workable schemes for adequate sanitation and water are destined to fail without the informed support and involvement of the people who are most affected by the project. Follows health workers and technicians in several countries as they visit rural populations to listen to the concerns of the villagers, to advise them, and ultimately to ensure that the final construction project is consonant with their needs. In a Malawi water supply project, for example, engineers identified probable underground water sites, but villagers determined the specific well locations, pipe paths, and timetables in keeping with centuries' old tribal traditions and village boundaries. They were also trained in the maintenance and repair of the system, lessening to some degree their dependence on the specialists.
