Helps poor people get access to fresh water.
"There are several technologies and systems for water access in use by GWI partners. These include boreholes, wells, rainwater harvesting systems, earth dams, rock catchments and low-cost water treatment plants. Beyond the collection point, GWI work involves treatment and storage and how water is used within the home. Options used for water treatment vary according to context. Some examples are ceramic and bio-sand filters and water treatment chemicals for household use. Good water management systems are required to ensure long-term equitable access—different traditional/cultural and modern committee structures must be supported as appropriate and linked to government and private service providers in ways that will strengthen sustainability."
