In Switzerland, rural communities have developed and managed their own water supply networks for a long time – in some cases over 100 years. This publication seeks to recount some experiences from the Swiss decentralised water supply approach that may be helpful or relevant. Even if the Swiss approach cannot be exported as it is, there still may be some lessons to be learned from more than a century of experience.
