Improving the availability of water over space is one of the technical measures to increase the [[Resilient WASH systems in drought-prone areasImage:water points.jpg|thumb|right|300px|resilience of WASH systems]], as more Water points of water in an area means better access for people Mozambique on a map, using [http://watermapmonitordev.appspot.com/ FLOW] cell phone software to create and livestockmonitor them.

* Methods to improve Improving the siting and construction availability of water over space is one of physical structures in order the technical measures to make them less prone to failure and more efficiently used. Such techniques may also apply increase the [[Resilient WASH systems in general (e.g. key methods to prevent subdrought-surface tanks from leaking will also apply in prone areas not prone to drought) – however|resilience of WASH systems]], they are included insofar that they help to improve reliability as more points of water availabilityin an area means better access for people and livestock.

Different options are: * Suitable Local [[Aquifer_recharge_-_general|recharge]], retention/storage methods that take into account and re-use of water, which are increasingly being seen as the high rain intensity that falls most important adaptations for short time periods ensuring water availability and food security to rural and urban populations, especially in many areas – such storage needs developing countries in the face of climate change. * Various methods for gaining more water from [[Rainwater_harvesting_-_general|rainwater]] and [[Groundwater_-_general|groundwater]] sources, some of which are innovative and need further research. * Methods on how to limit impact on existing saline groundwater and how to be able recharge/dilute it. * Methods to not only store enough volume of increase available water to last communities through many months [[Desalination_/_Evaporation|treatment of dry season and/or drought, but also needs non-potable saline water]]. * Ways to be able to conserve evaporation given the high PET rates improve [[handpumps]] sustainability since this affects water availability in many areas.
