'''PRACTICA foundationThe Rural Water Supply Network''' aims to facilitate research(RWSN) functions as a global knowledge network with its secretariat hosted by a Skat Foundation, development a resource centre based in Switzerland.  Assisting sector partners initiatives through knowledge sharing and commercial application dissemination is at the core of technology all RWSN activities. The organisation helps in cross-fertilisation of experiences and prevents "reinventing the field wheel". RWSN concentrates on affordable, groundwater-related technologies that are easy to maintain and acts as a focal point for standardisation of low cost water and energy in developing countriessupply technologies.

PRACTICA evolves within large development projects that include As such, RWSN blends a strong engineering capacity with the introduction principles of balanced institutional, financial and dissemination social development. The network is able to act as a depository of appropriate technologies as manual well drilling knowledge and rope pumpsprovides support to sector partners. PRACTICA Furthermore, RWSN supports the technology components preparation of case studies, technical notes and implements training courses field monitoring reports. It provides technical back-up on low cost technologies and capacity building for assists in the public and private sectorintroduction of implementation procedures.

Other areas The following four themes are known as the flagships of work include product developmentRWSN: self supply, applied and scientific researchcost-effective boreholes, feasibility studies and consultancy servicessustainable handpumps, handpump technologies.

The process of introducing low-cost technology to private manufacturers / workshops and end-users is labour-intensive. Even if in a region a particular technology ultimately catches on, it takes a relatively high investment to get to a ‘critical mass’. PRACTICA aims to accelerate this process by taking care of the ‘introductory and dissemination process’. At the same time PRACTICA has a general role as a clearing house, advocate and source of practical knowledge on promising new affordable technologies and services in the water and energy sector.
