Water Policy Brief : Water Policy Programme

Abstract

Access to clean water is central to healthy and productive lives for the poor. Yet at the beginning of the 21st Century over one billion people still lack this vital resource (WWC, 2000). A decade ago the ‘Dublin Principles’ shifted global thinking towards treating water as an economic good. The concern was that overly supply-led approaches had been financially unsustainable and, therefore, failed the poor. In focusing on water as an economic good and the costs attached to its supply, the reasoning was that greater financial sustainability and improved services for the poor would result.
