Title A name given to the resource Linking technology choice with operation and maintenance in the context of community water supply and sanitation: A reference document for planners and project staff Subject The topic of the resource This document, available in English, is intended for environmental health specialists, public health professionals, decision-makers, and governmental agencies who must identify the most appropriate technology for water-supply or sanitation projects in their area. It is focused on the needs of developing countries. The types of water-supply and sanitation technologies available are described, as well as the actors involved and the operation and maintenance requirements associated with the technologies. The operation and maintenance of small, community water-supply and sanitation systems, in particular, is emphasized, since this aspect of development projects has been neglected. This has contributed to some alarming statistics, with an estimated 1.1 billion people without access to improved water sources and more than two billion people worldwide without access to any form of improved sanitation. Such conditions are degrading for the people and undermine their health and well-being.

Title A name given to the resource Leakage management and control: A best practice training manual Subject The topic of the resource This training manual is available in English and Spanish. The intended audience includes environmental health specialists, and professionals responsible for operation and maintenance of water supply systems. It has been designed to raise their level of training and to make maximum use of the scarce resources available for this type of activity. The manual will greatly help the implementation of training activities and will be an important tool for trainers in the design, preparation and carrying out of training courses on leakage control. At the end of the course, experienced participants should be able not only to repeat the training course with other professionals, but also to help water agencies in the formulation and implementation of a leakage control program. Leakage is one of the crucial issues to be dealt with in order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of water supply services. Although the techniques and institutional aspects involved in a leakage control program are well known, appropriate materials for use in training programs on this problem are lacking. This training manual aims to fill this gap. Its use should be viewed as part of an overall strategy for the promotion of sound operation and maintenance (O&amp;M) practices in the context of a comprehensive approach to institutional development.

Title A name given to the resource Upgrading water treatment plants Subject The topic of the resource <span>This book, available in English and Spanish, provides a practical guide to improving the performance of water treatment plants. The intended audience includes environmental health specialists, public health professionals, students, and workers including those who are responsible for designing, operating, maintaining or upgrading water treatment plants as well as managers of water agencies. The principles and ideas presented have been shown to be effective in increasing the capacity of water, and are based on extensive experience in upgrading a variety of treatment plants throughout the world. The procedures proposed apply not only to the optimization of existing treatment plants but also to the design of new ones.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.who.int/docstore/water_sanitation_health/watreatplants/begin.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.who.int/docstore/water_sanitation_health/watreatplants/begin.html</a> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
