Stories from the Field

In this section you can find several stories from rural communities that manage their own water supply systems.

Case stories provide information as a base for participatory approaches, community problem analysis and evaluation/monitoring events.
Meanwhile, these accounts are a powerful tool to build knowledge of a given situation and raise awareness of the complexities of real situations.

Some stories discuss a specific situation while others focus on several and different issues (water policies and legislation, cost recovery issues, gender etc…).
If you want to get brief information on each story and decide which ones to read, search from the list of stories.
If you want to focus on specific issues and read only the stories that match with your choice, select the stories by subject.
