Operation and Maintenance Webinar Series
Operation and Maintenance of WASH infrastructure. This webinar series will share advances in approaches to operation and maintenance (O&M) of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure in the developing world. Much WASH infrastructure ultimately relies on groundwater, and consideration of groundwater characteristics is an integral part of optimizing approaches to better value, longer lasting and more sustainable infrastructure.
Speakers will discuss their program's approaches to engineering, environmental, financial, and political-economy challenges, and aim to draw out important lessons that are more widely applicable.Price: Free
Organised by PRO-WASH, Save the Children.
