| Abstract | The report presents the development of rural water supply in Finland since the early 1900s. It highlights factors as the preference for ground water, use of water for animal husbandry, alleviating the workload of women as water carriers, use of locally available construction materials, role of individuals in promoting and managing water supply, services offered by private enterprise, and importance of community managed water associations. The author suggests that the experiences of today's developed countries have a number of implications for developing countries although they are not necessarily directly applicable. |
