Reihe: Earthscan Studies in Water Resource Management

The supply of reliable and safe water is a key challenge for developing economies, particularly India. Community management has long been the declared model for rural water supply and is recognised to be critical for its implementation and success. Based on twenty detailed successful case studies from across India, this book outlines future rural water supply approaches for all lower-income countries as they start to follow India on the economic growth (and subsequent service levels) transition.

The case studies cover state-level wealth varying from USD$2,600 to $10,000 GDP per person and a mix of gravity flow, single village and multi-village groundwater and surface water schemes. The research reported covers seventeen states and surveys of 2,400 households. Together, they provide a spread of cases directly relevant to policy-makers in lower-income economies planning to upgrade the quality and sustainability of rural water supply to meet the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in the context of economic growth.
