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 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 Conflict Resolution and Negotiation Skills for Integrated Water Resources Management Subject The topic of the resource Conflict is an unavoidable aspect of human social systems and given the central importance of water to human well-being it is natural that conflicts arise over water. This training manual, together with presentations and resource materials, brings together information of how to manage conflicts over water and turn from conflict to cooperation. Integrated water resources management (IWRM) requires cooperative management of water and therefore conflict resolution skills will always be of value. The materials are based on experiences in training on the subject in various courses organised by Cap-Net network partners in Asia, Africa and Latin America and was written by Larry Swatuk, Alemayehu Mengiste and Kidanemariam Jembere with editorial support from Simone Noemdoe.

Title A name given to the resource Fiches synthèses sur l'eau potable et la santé humaine Subject The topic of the resource L’adoption du Règlement sur la qualité de l’eau potable en juin 2001 par le gouvernement du Québec a engendré des changements importants dans la gestion de l’eau potable. À la suite de l’adoption de ce règlement et dans le cadre de ses activités de soutien aux directions de santé publique, le Groupe scientifique sur l’eau de l’Institut national de santé publique du Québec (INSPQ) a réalisé un ensemble de fiches synthèses sur les principaux paramètres du règlement ainsi que sur certaines conduites à tenir en cas de problème de qualité de l’eau. Ces fiches présentent notamment les effets possibles à la santé associés à une exposition à divers contaminants de nature microbienne ou chimique. Elles visent également à expliquer la base des normes de qualité de l’eau potable au Québec, les recommandations élaborées par Santé Canada, les normes de l’Agence de protection de l’environnement des États-Unis (US EPA) ainsi que les valeurs guides de l’Organisation mondiale de la Santé (OMS). Ces fiches d’information ont été produites avec un très grand souci de rigueur scientifique et doivent être considérées comme un condensé de la littérature scientifique disponible au moment de leur rédaction.
