UNHCR WASH TECHNICAL DESIGNS FOR REFUGEE SETTINGS

These WASH technical designs form part of UNHCR’s series of Standardized WASH Design Guidelines for Refugee Settings which are the result of an extensive review process with WASH actors who have active programmes supporting refugees. It is recognized that the Standardized WASH Designs will require continuous review and amendment in response to changes in engineering best-practice and feedback from the field. Therefore further review will be managed by a Technical Committee which will discuss issues related to the use of the design and an annual update will be reported back to the WASH community. More urgent amendments will be reported as, and when, required. Note that many of these designs are based on drawings shared by active refugee-focused WASH agencies and credit has given when a particular agency’s design has been used or adapted.
