Abstract

The International Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Decade, which was inaugurated in November of 1980 is intended to focus attention and development efforts on the implementation of national drinking water supply and sanitation plans. This article briefly describes the background and goals of the Decade and analyses the findings and recommendations of a seminar on rural water supply held in Uppsala, Sweden in October of 1980. The meeting, which was jointly sponsored by the Government of Sweden, Uppsala University and the United Nations Department of Technical Cooperation for Development examined – among other issues – appropriate technology; operation and maintenance; monitoring and evaluation; and consumer‐producer‐donor relationships. La Décennie internationale de l'eau potable et de l'assainissement qui a été inaugurée en novembre 1980 a pour but d'attirer l'attention et de centraliser les efforts sur les plans nationaux pour la fourniture d'eau potable et pour l'assainissement. Cet article décrit brièvement les raisons et les objectifs de la Décennie. Il analyse les résultats et les recommandations d'un séminaire sur la fourniture de l'eau rurale qui s'est tenue à Uppsala, en Suède, en octobre 1980. La réunion qui a été organisée conjointement par le Gouvernement de la Suède, l'Université d'Uppsala et le Département des Nations Unies de la coopération technique pour le développement a étudié, entre autres, la technologie nécessaire, le mode opératoire et l'entretien, la supervision et les estimations, et les rapports entre consommateur, producteur et donateur. El Decenio Internacional del Agua Potable y del Saneamiento Ambiental que se inauguró en noviembre de 1980 enfocará la atención y los esfuerzos de desarrollo en la implementación de los planes nacionales de suministro de agua potable y saneamiento. Este artículo describe brevemente los antecedentes y metas del Decenio y analiza los resultados y recomendaciones de un seminario sobre suministro de agua en zonas rurales realizado en Suecia en octubre de 1980. La reunión que fue organizada en forma conjunta por el Gobierno Sueco, la Universidad de Uppsala y el Departamento de Cooperación Técnica para el Desarrollo de las Naciones Unidas examinó – entre otros temas – la tecnología apropiada, operación y mantenimiento, seguimiento y evaluación, y las relaciones entre productor y consumidor.
