Water for Slums: Small Piped Water Networks Deliver in the Interim
Asian Development Bank | July 2007
Abstract
Small piped water networks are viable, innovative, inexpensive, and empowering interim solutions for bringing water to Asia's urban slums. These networks can be quickly set up and some are able to provide 24x7 service, which users have proven they are willing to pay. The key to improving these small networks is in the ability of their entrepreneurial providers and utilities to work closely together from the beginning to ensure higher quality of water and smooth transition when the utility is able to provide service in the area.
