WATER SUPPLY PLANNING
	The planning process is the key to sustainable delivery of water to domestic and industrial customers in either a rural or urban setting. One of the most common problems faced by investors is the development of an infrastructure project based on unrealistic design parameters, leading to a financially unsustainable project. Effective planning requires integration of all aspects of a project, incl. technical, institutional, environmental, financial and socio-economics.
