Presenting many case studies, this collection of essays calls for the use of incentives and grassroots organizations to improve the delivery of water to human settlements. As an example of the contradictions to be solved in such efforts, the discussion points to the chronic lack of clean water in Cherrapunji, in northeast India, one of the wettest places on earth. Citing the need for good management and modern infrastructure to ensure cleanliness, sufficient quantities, and regular delivery of water, the book strongly recommends starting private water companies, buying and selling water in local water markets, and experimenting with other market-oriented reforms.
