The eCompendium of Water Supply Technologies in Emergencies is an exceptional collaborative effort of Global WASH Cluster (GWC) partners with contributions and thematic inputs from a multitude of international sector experts and organisations both from the humanitarian and development sphere. It has been developed and coordinated under the leadership of the German WASH Network and the University of Applied Science and Arts Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW) with the financial support of the German Federal Foreign Office and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). We would like to gratefully acknowledge and thank all individuals and their respective organisations and institutions for their invaluable contribution the Compendium and its online version. We would further like to thank the GWC and the Sustainable Sanitation Alliance (SuSanA) and its secretariat hosted by GIZ for their continuous support throughout the process and for hosting the eCompendium platform.
