AWWC learnings and plans for projects

By Blue Planet Network Posted on Wed 22 Oct 2008, over 15 years ago

Dear Margaret and Dinah,

Thank you for putting your organization profile on PWX. I look forward to welcoming you into the network.

Your history with pasteurization is good. Can you explain what the water sources are in your area? Is there other contamination?

What other water approaches did you learn at AWWC that you feel you can use in your area?

Also, please add your address info in 'Primary Location'.

Thanks,
Rajesh

Dear Dinah and Margaret

I'm so glad to have you on PWX. I hope that you find this process useful.

Can you briefly tell me about how SCI supports OYWA?

Also, can you briefly explain the organizational infrastructure of SCi and OYWA? For example, how many are in the group, what do they do, what is their business structure?

Thanks ladies
