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 findings support the view that rural poverty and the status of women would receive a significant boost if policy makers focused on
