However ,othe o thitw s r e hardldistrictscase th th n ei s y i , where save water is the main issue. Expansion of the programme in the districts of Ulanga and Kilombero should e donb shalloy eb w well piped an s d supplies where shallot w no well e ar s possible. Alternatives like roof catchments should also be considered. The situation in the districts of Kilosa and Morogoro is different. Virtually all villages where shallow wells are possible, are already included in the programme. For other villages alternatives such as piped supplies, roof catchments, sand dams, subsurface dams and others are to be considered. Reliability, cost and maintenance are the most important selection criteria. supple Th watef yo r does influenc attitude targee th th f eto groupe th f so programme. In Morogoro Rural and Kilosa, the willingness in the villages to contribute to the water fund is for instance better than in Ulanga.
