This unusual book belongs on the shelf of anyone interested in rural development in Africa, Asia, or Latin America, and it must be read and studied by those who are in any way involved in water supply and sanitation for rural areas in developing countries. Its emphasis is on water supply for individual households in rural areas, a field of study and investment largely neglected up to now.
