| Abstract | Public investments in rural water supply extend first to the most accessible communities. Self supply – the development or improvement of water supplies by households largely or wholly at their own cost – is an approach that can help increase coverage in areas where it is not feasible or cost-effective to develop communal supplies. It can also supplement existing services – improving water quality, quantity, reliability, or access. |
