The global water and sanitation community is currently wrestling
with the policy implications of two important realizations. The
first is that it is quite possible for cities to actually run out
of water-for the piped network to run dry. The second is that in
many locations, basic water and sanitation interventions do not
result in the large public health improvements that many water and
sanitation professionals had hoped. As water and sanitation
professionals work out the implications of these two realizations
on policy and planning for water and sanitation improvements in the
Global South, they will require an in-depth knowledge of local
housing, water, and sanitation conditions, as well as a nuanced
understanding of how households prioritize improvements in housing,
water, and sanitation. The chapters in this book about Kathmandu
illustrate the types of analyses of local conditions that are
needed. Kathmandu holds many lessons for the global community about
households' responses to water scarcity and the management of water
and sanitation services in periods of rapid urbanization and
climate change. In Focus - a book series that showcases the latest
accomplishments in water research. Each book focuses on a
specialist area with papers from top experts in the field. It aims
to be a vehicle for in-depth understanding and inspire further
conversations in the sector.
