Many rural households do not have access to treated drinking water. However, some households may be in regions where a water treatment plant has excess capacity to supply some additional households. In such circumstances, small diameter low-pressure supply systems can be connected to major transmission lines to give these households access to water. These typically occur in locations that do not belong to recognized municipal or other local government. Such supply systems, commonly referred to as “trickle fill,” have been implemented in South America, Africa and Canada. This paper explains the concept of trickle fill supply systems.

Rural communities in low-income countries rely on intermittent water supply, defined as access to for less than 24 h a day. The path continuous supply requires electricity well infrastructures, which turn the necessary finance investment. We show that sample of 16 Least Developed Countries (as classified by UN) do not yet meet minimum conditions implement mainly because they have finance. Building up an infrastructure investments, using earned foreign exchange or loans, build capacity, treatment plants and distribution pipe network. But once country has basic mains, its remote areas can then be served through low-cost investment into system called “trickle fill.” Vietnam, having developed fast export earnings, was able increase production expand drinking infrastructure. there are still people rural Vietnam without water. where extended further describe freely available user-friendly decision-making tool feasibility study trickle fill solution this been successfully implemented. For developing countries, we is no shortcut converting adequate earnings invested Key words: Foreign exchange, water, least fill, Vietnam.
