Inadequate water supply in rural communities


  • Arduous water collection
  • Difficult water access
  • Distant water sources

Incidence

Water is especially a women's issue. In developing countries the responsibility for water transport and the operation and maintenance of traditional water supply systems lies almost entirely with women. Collecting the daily water needs can take a quarter of a woman's working day and more than a quarter of her daily food intake, however, the workload could decrease significantly with better tools and techniques.
