Frequently Asked Questions

How do you work out your costs?

It is very difficult to give one precise figure for water provision per head, as different places are subject to a wide range of different economic, social and geographic conditions, but we can estimate that 2p will provide clean, safe drinking water for a child for a day.

What construction techniques are used?

A variety of low-cost technologies are used. For more details of the techniques used in the Sayint project you can download a detailed project file on the Get involved page of this site.
