| Abstract |
This study provides an evaluation of the technical quality of 18 rural water supply and 4 latrine projects undertaken by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the private sector in the Dominican Republic. The types of water systems reviewed included springs with gravity flow, solar pumping systems, surface water systems with only minimal "roughing" filtration at the source, surface water systems with slow sand filters, and a wind turbine system. Projects were evaluated for appropriate type of technology, overall quality of design, overall quality of construction, and general cost-effectiveness. |
