What is a perspective?

Perspectives are different frameworks from which to explore the knowledge around sustainable sanitation and water management. Perspectives are like filters: they compile and structure the information that relate to a given focus theme, region or context. This allows you to quickly navigate to the content of your particular interest while promoting the holistic understanding of sustainable sanitation and water management.

A Water Pasteurisation Indicator (WAPI) is a simple thermometer that indicates when water has reached pasteurisation temperature and is safe to drink. It consists of a small polycarbonate tube that contains a soybean wax that melts when water or milk is heated enough to be pasteurised (65˚C/149˚F). Since water pasteurises at temperatures well below its boiling point, WAPIs save time and fuel.
