Water and Sanitation Briefing for State of Alaska

The purpose of this document is to brief policy makers about the impact of unmet water and sewer needs on health and the quality of life in rural Alaska. A strategic plan, new approaches and funding are needed to maintain existing structures and resolve the challenges of hard-to-serve communities with appropriate technology. There are novel technologies and approaches to water preparation, recycling and sewage treatment in development.   We urge you to acquaint yourself with these issues; recognize the importance of adequate quantities of quality water and efficient waste management systems; and commit to ensuring that these issues are resolved.
