Urban water management

The populations of cities and towns in the developing world are growing fast. A huge challenge for water utilities is providing adequate water services to meet both the demands of the unserved and poor communities in the urban areas, while also seeking to provide services in new development areas. WEDC has undertaken extensive research, consultancy and capacity development work focusing on utility management, services to the poor, institutional reviews and related issues.
