Conferencia de Directores Iberoamericanos del Agua (CODIA) Secretaría Técnica Permanente (STP) Research, Testing and Training Centre for non conventional technologies of water purification (Canelones, Uruguay)
Background Research, Testing and Training Centre for non conventional technologies of water purification More than 1000 million people lack acces to safe drinking water in the world. 2600 million people lack adequate sanitation. In Ibero-America: 80 million people have no access to safe drinking water. 100 million people lack adequate sanitation. Millennium Development Goals (MDGs): halve, by 2015, the proportion of the population without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation.
Approach Research, Testing and Training Centre for non conventional technologies of water purification Until mid eighties, prevailed projects of infrastructures of thechnologies yhat not always concerned local reality, necessities and availabilities. From mid eighties, the model of communal management is adopted. It s basic principles are: participation, control in decision making, property of systems, cost recovery, mantainance and conservation. Communal management is the current model of intervention on water and sanitation in rural and peripheric sectors in developing countries. The Research, testing and training Centre for non conventional technoloigies of water purification expects to make communal management proposals.
Research, Testing and Training Centre for non conventional technologies of water purification A solution The need to develop appropriate technologies to the community socio-economic situation. For all this reasons, countries are willing to support the Ibero- American Water Program, looking for technical transfer.
