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.

This handbook contains some practical information on the application of different types and sizes of water tanks (capacity, depth, diameter and cost of construction). Graphs and photo illustrations of the water tanks make the information more comprehensive and easily understood by any reader.
