"Another difficulty is that estimates of the percentage of the population served seem too high, appearing in some cases to be as much as 30 percent in error." (Page 9)

Ghana was able to increase their statistics through "population (migration) increases in areas already assumed to have a water supply", although the Water Ministry acknowledges that the systems were unlikely to be able to handle the increased pressure.

("Yo!?" You ask, " What kind of reference is that?" Most authors I reviewed gave generous lip service to the idea of appropriate technology, but few had many hard and fast examples of what constituted AT. Some authors evaded the issue by bowing out (i.e. "The well making techniques are well known so we won't cover them here..."), some recounted the many tales of mass participation in pipe laying schemes, others spoke about the "incredible progress in handpumps", but few could cite specific examples of technologies which would produce the most costly portion of the well: the hole in the ground.)
