Expect no more than 3-5 in each Worksheet. Catchment & Intake Treatment Storage & Distribution How can you remove or reduce or remedy this, and by when. IMPROVEMENT SCHEDULE Until remedied, how will you know when this is actually causing deterioration towards unsafe drinking-water?

Kit adapted as appropriate Draft minimum standards for Rainwater Catchment (incl. in building permits/donors etc) Documentary / Instruction Video (Target-Household; should have community examples) Trained Trainers (BPW Officers, NGOs, MoH)
