Excerpt
1. Introduction In 1982, the Regional Office for Europe of the World Bealrh Organization initiated a collection of material for a Guideline to the design of cold-climate water and wastewater facilities. As a part of the International Water Decade a draft was produced, and it soon became evident that a full description of basic health problems in cold environments should also include the handling of garbage. As a result of the afore-mentioned problems, che publication of the WHO Guidelines was delayed. In the mean time the Environmental Protection Programme of Canada had commissioned for publication a Cold Climate Utilities Manual based upon the work of the same technical editor, Professor D.W. Smith. The Manual was published in 1986. The Regional Office for Europe is aware of the similarities between both documents. However, additions have been made to the Guidelines by Mr P. Sdgaard Christensen based on comments of the reviewers, and it is expected that the new input resulting from the Consultation to be held in Greenland in October 1987 will enable us to publish the final version of the Guidelines on Water Supply and Sanitation under Cold Climatic Conditions.
