This paper brings together a unique set of information that demonstrates the range of complex issues that need to be considered and addressed in applying technology, including nanotechnology, for improving basic sanitation and access to clean water. As an increasing number of initiatives explore the use of nanotechnology for development, now is the time to discuss the broad set of issues that need to be considered as these technologies are developed. This paper is intended to help inform those discussions.
