The research for the text was funded and published in 1973 by the Commission on Rural Water, Washington, D. C. and Chicago, Il. The text was written to meet the need for information on rural water system design, local and state regulations, and associated aspects of water project development and operation. Water systems in rural areas areas share, in principle, the general features of large urban water systems. However, rural systems must fit the needs of the rural populations served. Often, these populations are small, scattered over large areas, and are low in income.
