A great resource for Water & Sanitation information is WEDC at Loughborough University.
Publications List
All of these a “for purchase” publications, but a number are available as PDF files. These I have downloaded!
WHO Technical Notes for Emergencies
These four page illustrated notes have been prepared by WEDC for the World Health Organization to assist those working immediately or shortly after an emergency to plan appropriate responses to the urgent and medium-term water and sanitation needs of affected populations.

Part of WEDC is The WELL resource centre for water, sanitation and environmental health
The WELL publish a great number of guides and how-to manuals for fieldworkers. These can be found from the WELL Publications page.
There is also a separate publications list with entries on:
- WATER SUPPLY
- ENVIRONMENTAL SANITATION
- ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
- MONITORING
- CROSS CUTTING ISSUES
The WELL have republished a superb series of Technical Briefs (first published in Waterlines)
Originally published individually in Waterlines, the world’s only magazine devoted entirely to low-cost water and sanitation, these highly illustrated technical briefs bring together a body of information and guidance which has already proved of great practical help to agencies and fieldworkers.
