Overview

The Small Water Enterprises (SWE) project is a one-year project funded by the Safe Water Network. The overall goal of this project is to develop and test small scale private water service systems at the community level as a solution to providing safe water to the poor in the developing world. More specifically, the project will implement initial assessments to support in-field demonstrations of small-scale private water service systems in selected communities in India with the aim of scaling up the SWEs across India as a water supply solution.

Accomplishments

  • In collaboration with the Center for Water and Health (CWH) of the JHU Bloomberg School of Public Health, CCP is leading the Strategy Development Phase that includes 1) market, technology, and community assessments, and 2) policy and legal analysis related to water use.

  • CCP also supports the environmental water quality assessments and technology selection led by the CWH. The final program strategy for the implementation of SWEs in selected sites and recommendations for scalability will be a joint product between CWH and CCP.
