Description:
The objective of LIFE RURAL SUPPLIES was to strengthen the sustainability of water supplies in scattered rural communities in Galicia (Spain) that lack clean water. It sought to demonstrate that it is possible to provide small communities with a high-quality supply from local groundwater, through the correct implementation of uptake systems, the introduction of effective sanitation, and the adoption of management and control programmes. The project aimed to build supply systems at individual and community levels as well as autonomous sanitation systems. Specifically, it aimed to construct four pilot sustainable water supply facilities: a sustainable private well for a rural house; a community water supply system; a rainwater reclamation facility; and a community water sanitation system.
