Project ID 570GLO2016

The Global Water Pathogen Project will develop a knowledge resource to guide and help reaching future goals of reducing the lack of sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation through creating, publishing and disseminating the state-of-the-art replacement of the current benchmark reference work on water related disease risks and intervention measures, the book Sanitation and Disease Health Aspects of Excreta and Wastewater Management, Feachem et al. 1983. An online platform will help in re-writing and disseminating the new book in printed and electronic format in at least three official languages of the United Nations and following the open access policy of UNESCO.
