Abstract

The working group divided into three teams reached conclusions on appropriate technology for treatment of in particular drinking water, the role of health education and the need to widely disseminate the concept of a Water - Sanitation - Health relationship, the theoretical and practical training in hygiene, the need to promote water supply and basic sanitation, and the importance of the training resources required. Recommendations were formulated by team I in terms of resources, production and distribution works, storage and transfer, disinfection, and sanitation; by team II in terms of preparation, implementation and operation, with cost evaluation and assessment of the institutional framework at each stage; team III recommended the appropriateness of the planning of disinfection projects, the development of disinfection of drinking water and the sentisising and training of local technicians and supervisory staff in disinfection techniques.
