The four volumes (2-5) of specific guidance are intended for water infrastructure
managers and relevant government officials at the national and district levels and are
intentionally concise to encourage their uptake and use. However, some users may
want, or need, a deeper insight into the water source protection process. Hence, the
purpose of this Framework volume is to present a systematic guide to producing a
Water Source Protection Plan for any type of water source.
Throughout this document, the process is illustrated using a hypothetical example of
a town with a piped water system operated by the National Water and Sewerage
Corporation (NWSC). Please note that all figures and allocated responsibilities
are for illustrative purposes only.
