Although not discussed in any detail during the course, do keep in mind that sound water management practices always need to relate to proper management of sanitation. One depends on the other. Check out, InterWATER, a useful portal that offers information on more than 600 organisations and networks in the water supply and sanitation sector, related to developing countries.
It is operated by the Dutch-based International Water and Sanitation Centre.
