SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The lack of sufficient access to clean water is a common problem faced by communities in developing countries. This book shows how bringing together the strengths of community-based laws rooted in user participation and the formalised legal systems of the public sector, water management regimes will be able to reach their goals.
