Access to clean drinking water is a concern that exists globally, especially within the developing world. Rural Haiti is an example of a location that faces the struggle for clean water on a daily basis. One specific location in rural Haiti called Patrico is one of these places that struggles for access to clean water. Often, it is the focus of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to address water scarcity issues in the developing world. In the past, many organizations have attempted to address these problems, but have failed to create a sustainable form of water resource management. This failure can often be attributed to the lack of collaboration between NGOs and recipient communities on water resource management projects. This research offers and analysis of St. John Day’s 8 step model for community based water resource management, as well as a conceptual application of this model to the current state of water in Patrico, Haiti.
