Case Studies
Within the scope of this perspective, existing safe water businesses serve as hands-on case studies to support the theoretic factsheets with tangible examples. The cases view safe water businesses from different angles and show how different challenges have been tackled along the business life cycle from blueprint to scale. Lessons learnt and recommendations are shared with the reader to facilitate the scaling of safe water businesses towards other geographical contexts, to avoid reinventing the wheel and make the same mistakes over and over again.
The reader can also access the case studies through the factsheets the case studies are paired with.
