Focusing on the evolving role of demand-side considerations in water resource management, this volume expands on a foundational paper for the World Bank. It highlights the historical context of potable water provision and the shift from merely supplying water to understanding consumer preferences and their impact on allocation. The book critically reviews existing knowledge about the economic characteristics of water demand, addressing issues like excessive use, degraded quality, and inadequate service for vulnerable populations.
