Making Water Count
It is well understood that securing adequate water for consumption is essential for human survival. Less obvious is the hidden role water plays in all aspects of a households' productive activities. Access to water determines the degree to which households can exploit opportunities such as livestock keeping, small-plot irrigation, and brewing. In addition, the time, labor, and money a household spends getting water has to be continually traded off against the household's other activities aimed at securing income, taking care of children, preparing food, attending school, and purchasing essential goods and livelihoods inputs. These trade-offs need to be better understood and taken account of in both emergency and development programming.
