The case studies in this book contain evidence of how multi-purpose water supplies can help poor women and men to build sustainable livelihoods and fight poverty; analysis of the key issues relating to productive uses of water at the household level; and details of practical experience on how to cater to the demand for productive water. The book includes links to further information and contacts. The book is aimed at professionals seeking to move beyond sectoral boundaries in domestic or irrigation water supply, and contains many suggestions for an agenda of policy change, implementation and further research.
