A list of all articles on water supply and sanitation, water resources management and irrigation in countries ("sector profiles") as well as water management in cities can be found here: List of water country sector profiles
The objective of the WikiProject water supply and sanitation is to improve and expand articles related to water supply and sanitation. Most of the articles in this category are sector profiles for water and sanitation in various countries. However, other articles that are not sector profiles have been tagged as belonging to this project. It may be useful to revive or recreate the inactive Wikipedia:WikiProject Water and sanitation and that all articles that are not country sector profiles should be moved there.
Water and sanitation country sector profiles describe institutional and financial aspects of water supply and sanitation sectors (inputs), as well as the benefits provided to users (outputs) in various countries. Articles use a similar structure in order to facilitate comparisons. Articles focus on access, water use, service quality, institutional responsibility (service provision, policy and regulation, past changes in the institutional structure and recent developments), tariffs, cost recovery, investments and financing. For developing countries a section on external cooperation (foreign aid) in the water and sanitation sector is also included.
Articles on water resources management and irrigation by country are, strictly speaking, not part of the scope of this WikiProject, although they are closely related.
Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Water supply and sanitation articles by quality statistics
Monthly pageview statistics exist for this project, please see here: Popular pages. The data is the same used by http://stats.grok.se/en/ but the program is different, and includes the aggregate views from all redirects to each page (created by Mr.Z-man).
The page will be updated monthly with new data. The edits aren't marked as bot edits, so they will show up in watchlists. You can view more results, request a new project be added to the list, or request a configuration change for this project using the Tool Labs tool.
All pages that are tagged with this project are shown in this statistics compilation.
If you are new to the project, please take a look at the manual of style on water supply and sanitation articles. It gives hints and describes what to include in the articles. However, the manual is just a guide and you do not have to follow every step described in it. Feel free to change the style and bring in your ideas!
