Title A name given to the resource Community-driven development for water and sanitation in urban areas Subject The topic of the resource This booklet focuses on the role of local, community-driven schemes in directly addressing the needs of the unserved or ill-served in urban areas. It: describes initiatives that improved and extended provision for water an sanitation as a result of changes in approach by local governments and civil society organizations; shows how local initiatives not normally considered part of 'water and sanitation' can have great relevance for improving and extending provision -especially squatter upgrading schemes, initiatives to provide land for new housing and measures to increase the availability of loans to support household and community investments in better housing; discusses a key underpinning of these successes - the partnerships offered to local government by organizations of the urban poor - and the tools and methods used; and discusses the 'local' constraints to improving and extending provision for water and sanitation and how these can be addressed.

Title A name given to the resource Para ellas es el tema crucial: Colocar a las mujeres en el centro de las iniciativas sobre abastecimiento de agua, saneamiento e higiene Subject The topic of the resource El papel fundamental que desempeñan las mujeres en las intervenciones relacionadas con el agua, el saneamiento y la higiene (WASH) es innegable. Pero aún cuando la participación de la mujer en la planificación, el diseño, la gestión y la ejecución de esos proyectos y programas ha demostrado ser provechosa y costo-efectiva, todavía no se reconoce debidamente los beneficios sustanciales de este enfoque. Este documento viene de una iniciativa conjunta del Consejo de Colaboración para el Abastecimiento de Agua y el Saneamiento (WSSCC) y del Water, Engineering and Development Centre (WEDC) con el objetivo de acopiar y analizar ejemplos notables que demuestran las amplias repercusiones de las contribuciones de las mujeres a las actividades de WASH.

Title A name given to the resource Case Study Volume: "Facing the Challenges", The 3rd United Nations World Water Development Report Subject The topic of the resource This document is the accompanying case study volume to the WWDR-3. One of the overarching objectives of World Water Assessment Programme is to assist countries in enhancing their national capacity for water resources assessment by building on existing strengths and experiences. This mission has always constituted an integral part of the World Water Development Reports, which have included the findings of the case study development projects initiated in different geographic regions of the world. The case studies provide an in-depth analysis of the state of freshwater resources and related challenges that directly affect the livelihoods of people in the societies. Over the life of the programme to date, more than 64 countries have been covered at basin or national level. The increasing number of case studies necessitated the presentation of their findings separately. This first stand-alone volume of WWAP case studies, titled Facing the Challenges, includes 20 studies from Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Europe and Latin America, where conditions of water-related stress and socio-economic settings vary widely.

Title A name given to the resource The 1st United Nations World Water Development Report: Water for People, Water for Life (WWDR-1) Subject The topic of the resource The United Nations World Water Development Report (WWDR) is a periodic, comprehensive review giving an authoritative picture of the state of the world's freshwater resources, and aiming to provide decision-makers with the tools for sustainable use of our water. The Report encompasses a broad range of components, focusing on human stewardship of freshwater, that complex aggregation of policies, legislation, social programmes, economic approaches and management strategies through which we seek to achieve water sustainability. Generously illustrated with more than 25 full-colour global maps, numerous figures (diagrams, pie-charts), tables (including country tables) and photos, the Report opens with a chapter describing the water crisis. It then: reviews progress and trends; proposes methodologies and indicators for measuring sustainability; assesses progress in 11 challenge areas, including: health, food, environment, shared water resources, cities, industry, energy, risk management, knowledge, valuing water and governance; and presents seven pilot case studies of river basins representing various social, economic and environmental settings. Each chapter ends with a comprehensive list of related references, as well as useful web sites. The book is completely indexed, and includes in the annexes a list of the main global assessment publications.
