Knowledge management and networking are core activities for the RWSN Secretariat because we believe that practitioners can learn best from each other.
Since 1992, RWSN (which was the Handpump Technology Network until 2003) has organised six international forums:

RWSN members actively network at other events, often representing the network as well as their own organisations, advocating for better skills, investment and policy for rural water supply.
There are many other online resources that are relevant to rural water supply and below is the list of the ones we have found so far, but please let us know of any more.
Country specific resources and networks can be found on the relevant country page.
