how specific technology supports water availability to rural communities
Answers
Explanation:
Educational resources are a must-have for building a sustainable, long-term water supply and treatment system. Here’s a short list of links to get started.

E4C Webinars: There are hundreds of water treatment technologies available, so choosing the right one for each community takes some know-how. Meena Palaniappan and John Akudago at the Pacific Institute lead this E4C Webinar on how to make the right technology decisions. Join us October 18th at 11am ET for the webinar, Releasing Trapped Knowledge in the WASH Sector: Empowering Residents to Implement Solutions. Registration is free.
Guidelines and Tools for Rural Water Supplies: The Rural Water Supply Network provides this directory of guidelines and manuals on delivering rural water services.
Rural Water Supply Design Manual: The World Bank issues this manual on basic waterworks facility design. It is non-technical, aimed at managers and operators of small water supply systems, not engineers, to provide background information to inform their decisions.
Water Supply Sustainable Technologies: WaterAid lists ways to promote low-cost technology for water supplies, including local materials and local maintenance.
Hand-washing stations
Hand washing limits the spread of waterborne and other disease. A few simple devices can make it easier to lather up with soap and rinse hands where there are no taps.
Enabling Technologies for Handwashing database: Leave the search fields blank and choose “Handwashing stations/stands” in the first sub-menu called “Purpose.” When you hit “enter” you’ll see 16 hand-washing devices, including Tippy Taps like the one pictured above.
Happy Tap: Designed with customers in Vietnam, the Happy Tap is a home hand-washing station that costs very little and looks stylish and manufactured, not homemade like Tippy Taps.
Children Design Hand Washing Stations: For more design inspiration, see this video of winning entries in a student competition hosted by UNICEF in Togo. Students made their own hand-washing stations.
Household water treatment
Ten low-cost ways to treat water: E4C’s news blog rounded up ten devices, including clay filters, chlorine dispensers, solar stills, and more.
Innovations for Poverty Action’s chlorine dispenser system: IPA has installed chlorine dispensers in communities with no water treatment system. The fixed dispensers treat jugs that people take to them for household use. For more background information, see WASHfunders Blog, which published an article on the dispensers as they are used in Kenya.
WASHplus Household Drinking Water Quality Updates: The WASHPlus blog is a wealth of resources on household water treatment, including manuals, peer-reviewed studies and videos.
Community water treatment

Slow sand filtration plant [Link pending the new Solutions Library]: Filtration plants that use sand to purify water can scale up to accommodate communities of different sizes.
Measured chlorinator for community water supplies: Compatible Technology International helps rural communities in Latin America install low-cost automatic chlorinators on their community water supply.
