Driving impacts through science-practitioner partnership
Academic research is under increasing pressure to demonstrate tangible societal, environmental, and economic impact, prompting increased engagement between scientists and practitioners. This paper investigates how such partnerships evolve, how science contributes across different phases of the policy process, and what conditions enable or constrain their effectiveness. It does so through the case of SafePani, a professional rural water service de…
The Water Diaries
Cyclones, flash floods, droughts, and pollution batter the aspirations of people living at the sharp end of water insecurity. By charting the daily water use behaviour of people in Kenya and Bangladesh for a year, this book explores the intersecting drivers of global water risks and the spatial and seasonal inequalities. Comprising a clear methodological chapter and four detailed case studies of both urban and rural areas, it critically reviews e…
Managing contractual uncertainty for drinking water services in rural Mali
Contracts allocate rights, obligations, and risks between various parties to achieve specific results. In response to slow progress to deliver safe drinking water to rural populations, governments across Africa are increasingly introducing contracts with professional service providers. Contracts for drinking water service provision are designed to align operational outcomes with financial objectives. Yet, professional drinking water service provi…
Rethinking responses to the world’s water crises
Can solar water kiosks generate sustainable revenue streams for rural water services
Intra-seasonal rainfall and piped water revenue variability in rural Africa
Rainfall patterns influence water usage and revenue from user payments in rural Africa. We explore these dynamics by examining monthly rainfall against 4,888 records of rural piped water revenue in Ghana, Rwanda, and Uganda and quantifying revenue changes over 635 transitions between dry and wet seasons. Results show operators experience revenue variability at regional and intra-seasonal scales. Revenues fall by an average of 30 percent during th…
Risky responsibilities for rural drinking water institutions
The drinking water sector is off track to reach Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6.1 with over a quarter of the world’s population lacking safe and reliable services. Policy approaches are shifting away from provision of access towards managing the multiple risks of water supply and quality. By considering how infrastructure, information, and institutional systems evolved in Bangladesh, this article identifies the unintentional consequences of …
A cultural theory of drinking water risks, values and institutional change
Global progress towards the goal of universal, safely managed drinking water services will be shaped by the dynamic relationship between water risks, values and institutions. We apply Mary Douglas’ cultural theory to rural waterpoint management and discuss its operationalisation in pluralist arrangements through networking different management cultures at scale. The theory is tested in coastal Kenya, an area that typifies the challenges faced acr…
Racial disproportionality in state prison admissions
The impact of information technology on distribution channels
This paper briefly describes some of the advances which are taking place in information technology and considers some of the associated problems. The implications for tourism distribution channels and global tourism are then discussed
