A community-sensitive approach to the developing world's water supply; for students, trainers and engineers alike Community Health and Sanitation deals with disease and problems of water in the house and at the source, waste disposal, and education and training. This is a companion book to the recently published Community Water Development, and, as with that volume, it was considered that publication of selected articles in book form would preserve the information as a valuable reference both for planners and workers in the field. Inevitably, although each volume could stand alone, several articles in each are relevant to the other: sanitation must progress simultaneously with watersupply improvements, as is emphasized in many chapters.
