Title
IRC - Gender in Water Resources
Management, Water Supply and
Sanitation
Abstract
This book investigates how gender is present in the newly emerging principles on the
sustainable management of water resources. The book also reviews how these genderspecified
principles are currently applied in the water supply, sanitation and hygiene sector.
Operationalization has developed farthest in new drinking water supply services.
Participation of women alongside men in planning, design, maintenance and management
has brought distinct benefits to the functioning and use of the systems and created more
equal chances for training and functions of women and men. Yet a true gender balance, in
which benefits, burdens and control are shared equitably for optimal service sustainability
and development results remains to be achieved.
