Compendium of Water Supply Technologies in Emergencies

The Compendium of Water Supply Technologies in Emergencies is the second volume of the “Emergency WASH Compendium” series and offers a comprehensive and structured planning guide on available water supply technology options in humanitarian settings. It disaggregates technologies into their functional components, clarifies terminology and provides guidance for identifying the most appropriate water supply technology solutions in a given context and for all relevant response phases. It supports decision making when designing a water supply system and offers concise information on key decision criteria for each technology and facilitates the combination of technologies to come up with full technical water supply system solutions.
