  13. Section 4 ACTIVITIES

  14. ACTIVITIES For this unit, you will be given two different activities. Choose one that you feel best addresses your needs and/or curiosity.

  15. ACTIVITY #1 • Conduct a review of water needs in your community, looking at whether they are related to adequacy of supply or quality of water, or both. Do this in conjunction with colleagues, possibly using surveys and interviews to gain your “data.”

  16. ACTIVITY #2 • Make a preliminary determination of which of the drinking water purification methods discussed in this unit are most readily applicable in your community or region. Consider economic and social as well as technical factors in making your determination.

  17. RESEARCH RESOURCES • To establish contacts with whom you can collaborate to implement water supply projects in your community, look over the missions and programs of Practical Action, Pure Water for All, and FilterPureFilters, and then contact them by e-mail, post, or telephone to learn how you can avail yourself of their expertise, services, or guidance. • In order to broaden your grasp of these issues, as well as to engage a network of like-minded people, consider joining the World Health Organization (WHO) International Network to Promote Household Water Treatment and Safe Storage. You may study the mission and guiding principles of the HWTSS Network by contacting the WHO Secretariat at hhwater@who.int.
