Multiple Use water Services

This portal provides information on the provision of multiple use water services. It focuses on how these may be made to work for poverty reduction by supporting people to get access to water for both domestic and productive activities. The productive focus is on small-scale activities like backyard gardening, livestock keeping and micro-enterprises. These all play a crucial role in people's livelihoods but are often neglected in water supply. It is a collaborative group that you are invited to join!
