This document sets out a guideline for adopting water resource management initiatives while delivering water, sanitation and hygiene education services in both rural and urban contexts. It is intended to guide WaterAid’s partners in Nepal in the delivery of appropriate services and technologies to fit the needs of different users. It is also hoped that this guideline will be of value to other organisations and sector stakeholders. This guideline discusses how best to deliver water, sanitation and hygiene education services while keeping water resource management at the heart of service provision.
