Water Safety Plans
Improving water quality and health
The realisation of health, operational and financial benefits accrued through Water Safety Plans implementation (WSP) has contributed to a growing evidence base that they are the most effective means to consistently providing safe drinking water. WSP provide a framework for proactive, systematic and effective management and surveillance of drinking water supplies based on a preventative risk-based approach. Successful implementation of WSPs can improve drinking water quality, accrue operational efficiencies and provide a robust framework to better target more sustainable capital investments.
IWA's role in Water Safety Plan
Water Safety Portal
The Water Safety Portal (WSPortal) is a co-managed website by IWA and the World Health Organisation (WHO). The Portal is intended for all those involved in the management of drinking water supplies and provides practical guidance - in the form of case studies and tools - for those responsible for ensuring drinking water quality. Regional networks supporting WSP implementation are also hosted on this website.
