    The Dhaka Water Services Turnaround: How Dhaka is connecting slums, saving water, raising revenues, and becoming one of South Asia’s best public water utilities

    Sharma, Manoj; Alipalo, Melissa | June 2017
    Abstract
    ADB’s investment program in the Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (DWASA) provided a breakthrough in approaching urban development, particularly the delivery of clean, reliable, affordable water and to the poor, no less. And not just a breakthrough for Dhaka or the rest of Bangladesh, but for the region of South Asia. This publication looks at the key success factors that other utilities are taking note of: The zonal approach to rehabilitating and managing urban water services, trenchless technology for expeditiously laying pipes, and how to connect the urban poor—and keeping them connected—through community-managed approaches.
