DOWNLOAD EBOOKSustainable is defined as able to continue over a period of time; or causing little or no damage to the environment and therefore able to continue for a long time. The key to sustainability would therefore appear to be to identify what enables a water supply to remain operational over a long period of time. However, it is important that the sustainability of a single hand pump is separated from that of the project or programme under which it was. The community management model remains by far the most widespread for rural water supply in sub-Saharan Africa, and yet has failed to deliver the levels of sustainability that were initially anticipated. As described above, experience suggests that there may often be better alternatives to community management and the authors aim to encourage pilot studies that test new and innovative models. It is accepted, however, that community management is currently the most common model implemented and is likely to remain so for the short-term future at least installed. The role of the communities in the operation, maintenance and management of rural water supplies was first described in Sessional Paper No. 1 of 1999 on National Policy for Water Resources Management and Development. The paper defined the involvement of communities in project development in all stages including planning, implementation and operation and maintenance in light of the changing economic conditions and increasing burden to government. The paper further recommended institutional steps to be taken to facilitate the role of the communities in the operation and maintenance of rural water supplies. Increasing the participation of the communities in project development was intended to create a sense of ownership of the projects by communities.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe United Nations World Water Assessment Programme (WWAP) is hosted and led by UNESCO. WWAP brings together the work of 31 UN-Water Members as well as 37 Partners to publish the United Nations World Water Development Report (WWDR) series. Under the theme Water for Sustainable Development, the WWDR 2015 has been prepared as a contribution from UN-Water to the discussions surrounding the post-2015 framework for global sustainable development. Highlighting water's unique and often complex role in achieving various sustainable development objectives, the WWDR 2015 is addressed to policy- and decision-makers inside and outside the water community, as well as to anyone with an interest in freshwater and its many life-giving benefits. The report sets an aspirational yet achievable vision for the future of water towards 2050 by describing how water supports healthy and prosperous human communities, maintains well functioning ecosystems and ecological services, and provides a cornerstone for short and long-term economic development. It provides an overview of the challenges, issues and trends in terms of water resources, their use and water-related services like water supply and sanitation. The report also offers, in a rigorous yet accessible manner, guidance about how to address these challenges and to seize the opportunities that sound water management provides in order to achieve and maintain economic, social and environmental sustainability.
