NOTES 



1. An additional write-up coal conversion and improved 

 combustion is presented as a subsection to 

 Initiative 2 because it concerns only a small 

 number of developing countries. 



2. ANFLO, the basic patents for which are in the 

 public domain, is a packed bed anaerobic digester 

 system capable of processing a wide variety of 

 organic wastes. It features high throughput and 

 appears to be cost-effective at relatively small 

 size. 



3. AID, EPA, USDA, Department of the Interior, TVA, 

 and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; capital 

 development assistance from private industrial 

 firms; and possible aid in the development and use 

 of less sophisticated technologies from private, 

 nonprofit foundations. International agencies such 

 as the World Bank, UNESCO, UNICEF, and the Canadian 

 IDRC have also been active in water development and 

 management, especially in providing loans and 

 grants for capital components.
