With the recent events in mind - water shortages in Cape Town, widespread cholera in Haiti, mass-migration from low-income countries, etc. ? it elaborates a pressing topic which is directly linked to the precarious living conditions of the urban poor in the developing countries. It is urgent to acknowledge the proposed findings and recommendations of the book which will help to improve the situation of potential refugees in their home countries with a realistic vision for the development of the most basic of all life supporting services. So many efforts to reverse the negative trend in water and sanitation development have failed or targets have been repeatedly missed by far without notable consequences for decision makers on different levels and institutions. It has unnecessarily consumed many young lives, contributed to keep billions in poverty until today and fostered discrimination of women. The knowledge gap and the confusion in the sector lined out in the book becomes evident when a national leader in a low-income country declares a state of emergency in urban water and sanitation while at the same time global monitoring publishes an access figure for urban water of over 90% for the same country. It is time to change this with an effective sector development concept for our partner countries and a more realistic discourse on global level. The book argues for a sweeping rethinking and combines extended local knowledge, lessons learned from history in advanced countries and thorough research on reforms in Francophone and Anglophone developing countries. This was possible because the writer was working in Sub-Saharan partner countries for almost 30 years as an integrated long term advisor in different sector institutions (ministry, regulator, financing basket and different sizes of utilities) and had the opportunity to cooperate closely with the main development partners. The reader has the opportunity to obtain a comprehensive understanding of how the sector works and sector institutions in low-income countries function and can discover the reasons behind success and failures of reforms. The book also covers issues which have a significant influence on urban water and sanitation development but are hardly the subject of discussions. It helps to make the shortcomings of the water and sanitation discourse more apparent and assist institutions to move beyond their present perceptions and agendas. All of this makes the book different from other literature about urban water and sanitation in the developing world. 410 0$aSpringer Water,$x2364-6934 606 $aWater pollution 606 $aWaste management 606 $aUrban geography 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aApplied sociology 606 $aMedicine 606 $aWaste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U35040 606 $aWaste Management/Waste Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U31001 606 $aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15010 606 $aEconomic Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34010 606 $aSocial/Human Development Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X38000 606 $aMedicine/Public Health, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H00007 615 0$aWater pollution. 615 0$aWaste management. 615 0$aUrban geography. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aApplied sociology. 615 0$aMedicine. 615 14$aWaste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution. 615 24$aWaste Management/Waste Technology. 615 24$aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns). 615 24$aEconomic Policy. 615 24$aSocial/Human Development Studies. 615 24$aMedicine/Public Health, general. 676 $a628.1091732 676 $a628.1 700 $aWerchota$b Roland$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0888917 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910373882503321 996 $aEmpty Buckets and Overflowing Pits$91985631 997 $aUNINA
