Abstract
The paper reviews a public-private-partnership (PPP) project—Karnataka Urban Water Supply Improvement Project (KUWASIP).
Paper identifies lessons India and other developing countries can learn as they invite PPP in the urban water sector.
A 24/7 water supply could reduce water usage because water is not wasted by consumers who throw away stored water.
Management contracts are less likely to be opposed than privatization of water infrastructure.
It is important that pro-poor policies be developed as well as implemented effectively.
