  • Title: Improving access to water supply and sanitation in urban India: microfinance for water and sanitation infrastructure development.
    Author: Davis J, White G, Damodaron S, Thorsten R.
    Journal: Water Sci Technol; 2008; 58(4):887-91. PubMed ID: 18776626.
    Abstract:
    This article summarises initial findings of a study to explore the potential of providing micro-financing for low-income households wishing to invest in improved water supply and sanitation services. Through in-depth interviews with more than 800 households in the city of Hyderabad in India, we conclude that, even if provided with market (not concessional) rates of financing, a substantial proportion of poor households would invest in water and sewer network connections.
