Thanks for this article which in itself indicates the kind of caring that other should-be water implementers lack. It appears from this that, Indira Gandhi in India was on the right track. There is perhaps an answer to be found in the big picture if decision-makers could focus on the poor; either bringing the water to them or bringing them to the water. Since water is viewed as an important part of an engine to growth and development, imagine how it would be that the poor could contribute if they had water? This might suggest a kind of ‘trickle-up’ to those of greater means, remembering that for the 2030 goals no. 1 is ‘no poverty.’ Could it not be said that if the poor have water so will the rest of their adjacent society. Even if government wanted to favor them beyond others those others would presumably see to it that prosperity was in a more equal measure.
