Was looking for sources and training materials to begin developing a proposal for an open source water point mapping approach for use in Lao PDR in S.E.Asia. As the lack of geo-referenced information (on what,where,when issues etc…) and accurate maps seriously limits the targeting of ’safe’ water sources to those who remain unserved (~40% of the national population). As well as for sustainability and monitoring of functional ’safe’ water sources. So when direct to you website was impressed with the materials and contents developed and posted, a great and commendable asset.
