Cost recovery in water supply in developing countries
This article discusses trends in cost recovery policies, costs, consumers' ability and willingness to pay, water tariff structures, fee collection and financial management. Cost recovery, operational technology and appropriate institutions are the key requirements of sustainability. Commonly practised water vending and reselling, while a good indication of actual willingness to pay for water, is a very costly system. In practice free water supply benefits the rich. Progressive tariffs and innovative collection methods should be used instead.
