• Until mid eighties, prevailed projects of infrastructures of thechnologies yhatnot always concerned local reality, necessities and availabilities.

• From mid eighties, the model of communal management is adopted. It´sbasic principles are: participation, control in decision making, property ofsystems, cost recovery, mantainance and conservation.

• Communal management is the current model of intervention on water andsanitation in rural and peripheric sectors in developing countries.

• The Research, testing and training Centre for non conventional technoloigiesof water purification expects to make communal management proposals.
