Section 4, on community participation, provides guidance on the establishment and functions of the drainage committee. Where such a committee is established the members should gather to exchange information about the local drainage situation. They should also attempt to assimilate general information about common methods and materials for solving drainage problems. This will facilitate agreement on what needs to be done and in what sequence. The books and documents listed below are useful sources of general information about drainage and community participation that are likely to be readily available from libraries or other sources of United Nations publications. Drainage committees may also request such information from national and/or local public works or health authorities. The unpublished WHO documents listed here can be obtained from Division of Environmental Health, World Health Organization 1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland; unpublished Habitat documents are available from the United Nations Centre for Human Settlements, Nairobi, Kenya.
