Summary

The aim of this manual is to provide practical guidance to facilitate water safety plan development focusing particularly on organized water supplies managed by a water utility or similar entity. It shows how the strategy can be implemented, with examples illustrating what has been effective for some water utilities. What is important is that the water safety plan approach fits in with the way a utility is organized otherwise it will not be accepted within the organization. The manual is divided into 11 modules, each representing a key step in the water safety plan development and implementation process. Every module is further divided into three sections: overview, examples and tools, and case studies.
