Collectively, billions of dollars have been invested in the
provision of rural water supply systems in developing countries
over the past three decades. Although progress is being made and
rates of coverage are increasing, users often find that, once
installed, water supply systems are poorly maintained and
eventually break down, leaving them with an unreliable and
disrupted water supply. "Supporting Rural Water Supply" takes a
critical look and asks why we have been unable to provide a
sustainable water service to rural people. What are the critical
success factors in the areas where there has been good progress?
How can we support the adoption of a service delivery approach to
rural water supply one that moves beyond implementing
infrastructure projects to delivering a reliable and indefinite
service? This book brings together findings from 13 country studies
which were carried out as part of a global learning initiative
Sustainable Services at Scale, or Triple-S. It offers insights into
ways countries and individual organizations can move towards a
service delivery approach step by step and is a valuable resource
for professionals in government departments, NGOs, development
banks, and donor agencies who are interested in improving the
design and implementation of rural water supply programs and the
benefits from investments."
