INTRODUCING! - A NEW MINOR:WATER AND SANITATION FOR

HEALTH AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Page 2: INTRODUCING! - A NEW MINOR: WATER AND SANITATION FOR ... Center/documents/2015... · jim f. cham berlain, phd the ou water center introducing! - a new minor: water and sanitation

THE CHALLENGES

748 million people - lack access to safe water

2.5 billion people – lack access to basic sanitation

100s of millions of people – do not have clean soap

and water for basic hygiene

1.5 million children – die each year from diarrhleal

diseases

80 – 90% of these are due to contaminated

water and inadequate sanitation.

THESE DEATHS ARE PREVENTABLE!

THE CHALLENGES

Women and young girls – carry burden

• Time away from school

• Time away from work, earning a living

ISSUES

In each case, technology was appropriate.

But -

• No local ownership and responsibility

• more bottom-up approach needed

• Cultural norms not honored or recognized

• incompatibility with social context

• Long-term sustainability not provided

Page 9: INTRODUCING! - A NEW MINOR: WATER AND SANITATION FOR ... Center/documents/2015... · jim f. cham berlain, phd the ou water center introducing! - a new minor: water and sanitation

The solution is found in the center

OUT OF “COMFORT ZONE”

• “hard” science

• Constraints and

conditions given

• Precise equations

• One correct answer

• “soft” skills

• Constraints and

conditions unknown

• Ambiguity

• Range of correct answers
