Résumé :
|
Since the early 2000s, multiple-use water services have emerged as a new approach to water services in rural and peri-urban areas in low- and middle-income countries. The concept of multiple-use services (MUS) is based on the truism that people use water from multiple sources for multiple uses. People's demand is multi-purpose. Yet, water services are usually provided by 'domestic' or 'irrigation' or 'fisheries' sub-sectors for a single use only. The structuring of the public water sector according to single-use mandates leads to 'projects' that operate in parallel with each other, even when they serve the same user at the same site. MUS moves beyond these narrow sector boundaries and seeks to align water services with people's multiple needs for the integrated resource water.
