Abstract
The Conclusion chapter seeks to provide discussion and insights while referring to the concepts, methodology and strategy developed above, as well as to the work undertaken and the results (many of which are discussed in the 21 boxes on the case study of Gogma, Burkina Faso). It does so by linking the discussion to the two themes underlying this work, i.e., sustainable safe water access, and systematic and interdisciplinary practice, and by considering some of the technical, policy and research implications. Offering insight into how a purpose-built PVWPS has contributed to advance sustainable outcomes, the chapter elaborates on possible implications for the people of Gogma who face an uphill battle to obtain safe drinking water, and for Sub-Saharan Africa more generally. The chapter considers the book's usefulness for installers and researchers, decision-makers, politicians, investors, and aid agencies. Finally, the chapter explores opportunities for driving interdisciplinary research into further areas.
