The pre-feasibility study considers identifying the contextual features that allow use or limit the viability of selected technologies in areas (counties) with less developed infrastructure within the wider view of sustainable water supply. This includes people's attitudes and preferences, institutional and financial opportunities and barriers, as well as relevance of technologies in enhancing sustainable water supply. In addition, the study captures management issues such as operation and maintenance needs and infrastructure resilience against frequent climate impacts such as droughts, flooding, high infiltration and evapo-transpiration rates leading to high water losses from rain water harvesting systems. The objective of the pre-feasibility study is thus to assess the technical, economic and social feasibility of three water technologies for the targeted areas, through an in-depth primary and secondary data collection and analysis.
