Vision
The Rural Water Supply Network (RWSN) is a global knowledge network. RWSN considers access to basic water and sanitation as a fundamental right and essential for human development.
Through information-sharing, dialogue and exchange as well as in-depth studies, RWSN helps practitioners and professionals to make informed decisions on how to better improve access to safe water for rural people. RWSN uncovers and shares good practices, provides guidelines and tools, and promotes proven innovations.
Originally conceived as the Handpump Technology Network (HTN), RWSN broadened its mission from handpumps to rural water supplies in 2001. RWSN’s objective is to catalyse vibrant knowledge exchange between the most active rural water supply actors and thus strengthen the sustainability, efficiency and effectiveness of rural water service delivery.
