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.
