New: the online InterWATER thesaurus
Updated - Tuesday 12 December 2006
How is the InterWATER thesaurus constructed and maintained?
The InterWATER thesaurus is a standardised vocabulary for water and sanitation concepts that may be phrased in a variety of ways in sector literature. Each term appears in alphabetical order. More background information on the thesaurus and its use can be found on the thesaurus pages.
IRC hopes more organisations working in the water supply and sanitation sector will be interested in using the updated thesaurus as a tool for the improved exchange of information. We would like to encourage organisations and individual users to come up with suggestions for new terms. The Thesaurus Maintenance Working Group set up by IRC will support the continuous updating process and decide on terms to be added. You can submit your suggestions for new terms online via the contact form.
