Climbing the water ladder: multiple-use water services for poverty reduction [1]

This book shows how multiple-use water services (MUS) are best suited to meeting people's diverse water needs. This book shows how livelihoods act as the main driver for water services and how access to water is determined by sustainable water resources, appropriate technologies and equitable ways of managing communal systems.

This book shows how multiple-use water services (MUS) are best suited to meeting people's diverse water needs. This book shows how livelihoods act as the main driver for water services and how access to water is determined by sustainable water resources, appropriate technologies and equitable ways of managing communal systems. Climbing the water ladder requires a small fraction of total water resources, yet has the potential to help people climb out of poverty. Local government can be the pivot to make this happen. But, it needs support to implement its mandate to meet multiple-use demand and to become more accountable to people in communities.
