"A BENCHMARK FOR WORLD BANK POLICY"

SAUNDERS, ROBERT (+) JEREMY WARFORD.

Village Water Supply. Economics and Policy in the Developing World. A World Bank Research Publication.

Baltimore & London, The John Hopkins University Press, 1976. 8vo. In the original printed wrappers. A very fine and clean copy.

First printing of Saunders and Warford's landmark report on village water supply and its consequences on health and economy, which "became a benchmark for World Bank policy on rural water supply over the subsequent decade". (Cairncross , Domestic Water Supply in Rural Africa).

It initiated a never before seen focus on the character and extent of the problems connected with water supply, sanitation and the relevant economics. Not only did it set the standard for the World Bank, to a large extent it also formed the UN-policy on the subject.
