A Guide and Sourcebook on Urban Water Supplies in Asia for Governments, Utilities, Consultants, Development Agencies, and Nongovernment Organizations.

This book identifies some myths, misconceptions, and realities about Asian water supplies. It also looks at problems and solutions related to such important topics as water resources management, private sector participation, and non-revenue water. Finally, the book proposes a new approach to the development and management of water supplies, one that is based on transparent government policy and regulation, and the involvement of civil society.

The book also includes 19 city water profiles, 6 case studies on utilities, and 6 examples of small-scale water providers, all based on recent data from the field.
