List of articles

edit

A list of all articles on water supply and sanitation, water resources management and irrigation in countries ("sector profiles") as well as water management in cities can be found here: List of water country sector profiles

Objective

edit

The objective of the WikiProject water supply and sanitation is to improve and expand articles related to water supply and sanitation. Most of the articles in this category are sector profiles for water and sanitation in various countries. However, other articles that are not sector profiles have been tagged as belonging to this project. It may be useful to revive or recreate the inactive Wikipedia:WikiProject Water and sanitation and that all articles that are not country sector profiles should be moved there.

Water and sanitation country sector profiles describe institutional and financial aspects of water supply and sanitation sectors (inputs), as well as the benefits provided to users (outputs) in various countries. Articles use a similar structure in order to facilitate comparisons. Articles focus on access, water use, service quality, institutional responsibility (service provision, policy and regulation, past changes in the institutional structure and recent developments), tariffs, cost recovery, investments and financing. For developing countries a section on external cooperation (foreign aid) in the water and sanitation sector is also included.

Articles on water resources management and irrigation by country are, strictly speaking, not part of the scope of this WikiProject, although they are closely related.
