A participatory rural appraisal approach is presented in which a multidisciplinary team works with the community to assess its problems and opportunities relating to resource management. Water supply and distribution are one aspect of the approach. It takes a holistic perspective of the factors that impinge on a community's progress and seeks to help the local people to identify their problems and select strategies to help mitigate the situation.
