Water Supply and Sanitation activities: extended approaches! Koestler 03/06 Mexico 06.ppt Goals: - To become a competent and active PNS - To be prepared for WatSan tasks - To assess all available water sources - To optimize the use of available sources - To monitor the supply of water For the benefit of the suffering population in disaster relief and development. WatSan strategy Disaster preparedness Watsan for ERU-hospital Training of delegates

Where are the people? Where is the water? What is the quantity and quality of water? What are the capacities needed and where? What are thewater quality improvement Measurs needed at each site? What is the most sustainable solution for each situation? What are costs and efforts to solve a situation? Etc?? WatSan strategies: Provide tools and trained delegates

Emergency Water Supply Modules Koestler 08/04 EWmod present.ppt Identified needs: 1.More and better focus on water source (identification, protection, exploitation). 2.Improved monitoring of water supply both in terms of quality and quantity. 3.Methods and equipment to access surface-near water (shallow wells, springs, etc.). 4.Methods and equipment to access groundwater (drilling and equiping of boreholes).
