This book is especially concerned with small-scale drinking-water systems. Such systems are predominantly relevant to rural areas (although the methods described could also be applied, in principle, to large-scale drinking-water systems in urban areas). In any country, communities depending on small systems are the hardest to reach in terms of achieving the water and sanitation targets of the Millennium Development Goals. There is often a difference between the water supplies of urban and rural areas, with rural communities most likely served by a small system The main differences, however, are in the levels of technology and the institutional arrangements for management, maintenance and protection of water /sources.
