mWater's Global Sanitation Asset Standard: Towards Professional Sanitation Management Across the World

Introducing the Next Step in Global Sanitation

Building on the success of our water asset standard, mWater is proud to announce the development of a comprehensive Global Sanitation Asset Standard. This initiative aims to transform how sanitation assets are managed worldwide, from rural communities to bustling municipalities.
