Evaluation of the National Demonstration Water Project. Volume I

摘要

This report presents the findings of an evaluation study of the National Demonstration Water Project (NDWP), a program first funded by the Office of Economic Opportunity and later by the Community Services Administration, during the period from 1973 to 1978. NDWP represented a unique experiment in accelerating the process of social change in rural areas for the benefit of low-income families and communities. The National Demonstration Water Project grew out of a demonstration project in Virginia, funded by OEO in 1969. This project was designed to assist rural communities in the region around Roanoke, Virginia, to construct or improve their public water systems and sewer services.
