Abstract | System dynamics modelling is a tool that has been used for decades in business management and economics applications, but little focus has been applied to the WASH sector. Specifically, this paper discusses the use of causal loop diagrams and stock flow diagrams as methods to better understand the systemic drivers affecting sustainability of rural water service delivery. |
