Manual. — SKAT, 2000. — 78 с. — (Series of manuals on drinking water supply, volume 7). — ISBN 3-908001-99-4.Demand Responsive Approaches give the village communities the power to choose which type of technology they want for their water supply facilities. They are also responsible for the management of the systems and have to take into consideration costs for operation, maintenance and major repairs as well as the reliability. To arrive at a sensible choice it is necessary that the communities are aware of the technical, financial and institutional implications of their technology choice. This book gives information on the different technology options for pumping water (point sources or piped systems) in an easy-to-read format. It lists possible managerial models for provision of services and O&M through the private sector. Technical fact sheets catalogue the most common handpumps used in rural water.
