The interdependence of public health engineering and a system of lifelong education

This paper will claim that water and waste engineers and adult educators must be conscious allies. It will reiterate the importance of involving the people in the planning and imple­mentation of projects. It will suggest that the present surge of interest in appropriate technology requires appropriate staff and that this in turn will require the replacement of much of present education by education for less prestigious schemes. Finally, it will survey the role adult education can play.
