| Abstract | In order to bridge the gap between city bred planners and the needs, priorities, and benefits of safe water and sanitation systems as perceived by the beneficiaries, it is important to understand the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of the rural population with regard to the subject. A comprehensive study was carried out among the rural population in 8 states in India. In the qualitative part 3 target groups were covered: beneficiaries, influencers, and implementors. An implementor is defined as a person who is involved in the implementation of the water and environmental sanitation programme, including resource persons at various levels in the hierarchy in the programme implementation process. 170 implementors were interviewed regarding water sources and use; understanding of safe water; site selection, installation, maintenance and use of handpumps; waste water disposal, defecation practices, and use of household and community latrines. A summary of the findings is given. |
