Gender, Water and Poverty in Bangladesh
-
According to the World Bank’s Development Indicators 1999 (WB 99), more children remain under-nourished in Bangladesh than anywhere else in the world. This means increased vulnerability to diseases as children grown up, problems which will be exacerbated by limited access to health care and water supply.In the past, poverty alleviation was not a particular aim of water sector development.

Impacts of domestic water supply on gender and income: results from a participatory study in a drought-prone region in Gujarat, India
-
In this paper the value of an improved domestic water supply was investigated for economic development and gender relations in rural households in a drought-prone area. The extra income that women gain when the supply works and is used economically helps poor families to bridge the dry season. The findings support the view that rural poverty and the status of women would receive a significant boost if policy makers focused on
providing employment opportunities for women along with improved water supplies
