DRESO enhances community access to potable water systems/points, establishing sustainable management and sanitation systems and promotion of improved hygiene and environmental sanitation practices. These can be achieved through:
- Drilling borehole water shallow wells and rehabilitating the existing ones
- Building rainwater runoff storage systems.
- Excavate ponds called water pans to collect rainwater, which can be used for people or animals, depending on the circumstance
- Establish sustainable management promoting community cost-sharing of capital and ongoing costs; training of local water committees to ensure proper maintenance needs and management;
- Increase participation of women, in the management and maintenance of water and sanitation intervention, and promotion of improved hygiene and environmental sanitation practices.
- Provide emergency shelter in coupling with sanitation
- Rehabilitation of Ventilated Improved Pit (VIP) latrines and incorporate training community members on good hygiene and sanitary practices
