A systematic evaluation was made of 165 village water supply and treatment systems in Northeast Thailand for studying problems involved in the design, construction, operation, administration, and financing of such systems. The evaluation included 1 year of field data collection covering system operation by village operators. This is believed to be the first such evaluation of the effectiveness of a rural water supply development program. Findings include quantification of strengths and weaknesses pertinent to management, and recommendations are developed for guiding governmental agencies operating such programs and international agencies participating in their planning and financing.
