This book is based on the experience gained over twenty years of working to strengthen the capacities of rural communities to manage their own water supply systems. The day-to-day experiences of 22 communities in six different countries # with differing geographical, socio-economic and cultural settings # are at the heart of this fascinating book. Supplemented with research findings, it shows the power and creativity with which community people work to keep their water supply systems operational, and it also shows their struggles and difficulties. Community Water, Community Management is for all in the water sector who operate at the interface between communities and support organizations. Managers and engineers alike will find a wealth of information about how people interact with their pipes and wells, what can go wrong and how others have overcome problems.
