This Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) addresses the anticipated future urban demands that will be met by the newly formed City of Waterford Water Department from 2005-2030. The UWMP discuss the demands generated by anticipated urban development within the City of Waterford service area, and the supplies the City will use to meet these demands.

The WSP Quality Assurance Tool, jointly developed by WHO and the International Water Association (IWA), with support from AusAID, DWI (UK), MHLW (Japan) and NSF International. It facilitates an objective assessment of efforts in water safety planning, the approach recommended by the WHO Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality to ensure consistent supplies of safe drinking-water. It systematically highlights the areas in a WSP where progress is made and where opportunities for improvement present themselves.

This paper explains the idea of Strategic Finance Planning, which is concerned with finding national consensus on future water and sanitation planning, including financial feasibility. The study focuses on water and sanitation services in Africa.

This paper presents initial experience with implementation of the Household-Centred Environmental Sanitation (HCES) approach, jointly developed by the WSSCC and EAWAG-SANDEC. The presentation explores the theoretical foundations, the problems it seeks to address and practical experience with implementing the novel planning approach, presenting two case studies, one each from Tanzania and Laos.

CLUES presents a complete set of guidelines for sanitation planning in low-income urban areas. It is the most up-to-date planning framework for facilitating the delivery of environmental sanitation services for urban and peri-urban communities. CLUES features seven easy-to-follow steps, which are intended to be undertaken in sequential order. Step 5 of the planning approach relies on the Compendium, applying the systems approach to select the most appropriate technological option(s) for a given urban context. The document also provides guidance on how to foster an enabling environment for sanitation planning in urban settings. Published in 2011, 100 pages, with a memory key.

Sustainability is without doubt one of the most burning subject matters that subsumes many of the issues that we are seeing in CLTS and wider WASH practice. There have been several useful studies on sustainability that have highlighted some of the different aspects as well as the complexities involved. However, it is unclear how much of the learning from these studies has been built into current and future programming and practice. Based on existing research and our own understanding, this issue of Frontiers of CLTS is an attempt at an up to date synthesis of where we are at the beginning of 2015. In the issue, we identify some priority areas for learning: How to phase in sanitation marketing; Post-ODF engagement of government, NGOS, donors and others; How to ensure equity and inclusion; How to transform social norms; Monitoring, learning, changing

In 2004, the WHO Guidelines for Drinking Water Quality recommended that water suppliers develop and implement "Water Safety Plans" (WSPs) in order to systematically assess and manage risks. Since this time, governments and regulators, water suppliers and practitioners have increasingly embraced this approach, but they have also requested further guidance. This much-anticipated workbook answers this call by describing how to develop and implement a WSP in clear and practical terms. Stepwise advice is provided through 11 learning modules, each representing a key step in the WSP development and implementation process.

This policy perspective summarises key messages about the economic case for water investment, the barriers to investment and the financing gap. It charts a course for action to better value water and to facilitate water investment at scale. The Roundtable on Water Financing, a joint initiative of the OECD, the World Water Council and the Netherlands, will continue to deepen the evidence base and broaden engagement on these issues.

This video by IRC’s WASHCost project examines the full costs of building traditional latrines in Mozambique. There, cost data for planning are collected by local authorities. They gather the information around households in the area. Households are visited and their sanitation situation is assessed. This gives a clear picture of what is actually achieved.

This paper reviews five different sustainability assessment tools that are currently in use for programme monitoring of WASH interventions. The selected tools all have a developed framework that has each been pilot tested and produces an objective and quantifiable output (e.g., final score or percentage) that can be used to trigger improvements to programme design or take remedial actions.

The introduction of adequate sanitation can provide a range of health advantages and other positive benefits to households and communities. This case examines the impacts a for-profit enterprise, providing sanitation services to the Base of the Pyramid, has on children and pregnant women and how these impacts can be enhanced.
