| Abstract | This report discusses water resources development activities and problems associated with community water supply in developing countries. It deals with the funding of water resources development and the USA strategy; the obstacles to achieving the goal of the UN International Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Decade; the constraints to providing safe water and adequate sanitation; funding; institutional and manpower needs; the needs of rural areas; and maintenance problems. It recommends that the United States should exert more active leadership in influencing the allocation of available funds for, and in removing constraints to, water resources development. |
