MULTI COLORS: These are the multicolor boats that you see on the retail floor. If you order an Elite multicolor, the colors and pattern are determined by our molding staff, resulting in an almost unlimited array of possibilities, some bright and bold, some subtle. If you want to specify your own colors and/or pattern, then you want a "custom multicolor". You can mix any of the colors you see here and you can give us a description of what you want your boat to look like. We are not able to mold extremely complex patterns. Have your dealer contact Jackson customer service if you have questions about what is and is not possible. A custom boat adds $75 to the price of a boat. This charge is the same for any solid or multicolor custom.

SL standard multicolors are similar to what is shown here, but each will vary somewhat. Any other SL multicolor is a custom. Any custom, solid or multicolor, adds $75 to the price of the boat.

Water&Envronmental Sanitation

Overview - Water & Environmental Sanitation

A young boy enjoys the water from a spring at Teluk Dalam, Nias, several days after an earthquake devastated the island in February this year.
Water and sanitation conditions remain very poor in most areas of Indonesia, resulting in high rates of susceptibility to water-related diseases, especially among children. In 2004, only 53.4% of Indonesia’s population obtained its water from sources further than 10 metres from excreta disposal sites – a universal standard for water safety. In Jakarta, for instance, 84% of samples from shallow wells were contaminated by faecal coliform.Since communities are not always aware of the importance of good hygiene, hygiene practices are often not conducive to good health, and latrines are not maintained or used appropriately. High occurrences of diarrhoea, skin disease, intestinal and other waterborne disease in low-income communities therefore remain a frequent obstacle to improving child health more generally.
Besides poor access to safe water, a failure to aggressively promote behavioural change - particularly among low-income families and slum dwellers – has further worsened Indonesia’s water and sanitation situation. The provision of clean drinking water has unfortunately not yet been taken up as a serious development priority in Indonesia, particularly at the provincial government level.
