Handpumps have revolutionised access to safe, reliable water supplies in low-income countries, particularly in rural areas.  Dr Kerstin Danert, Ask for Water GmbH,  presents main findings of three ‘Stop the Rot’ publications that draw attention to rapid handpump corrosion. 
Organisations are repeatedly installing poor quality pumps or the wrong type of pumps, which leads to early failure, leaving water users no alternative but their previous unsafe sources. This problem is widespread and preventable. Together we can Stop the Rot.
