Joe Brown - TITLE: "Reliability and Resilience: Drinking Water Infrastructure in Rural
Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Mozambique, and Pakistan". This presentation describes nationalscale
surveys of rural drinking water supplies in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Ethiopia, and Mozambique,
with a focus on service reliability, resilience, and equity across multiple dimensions. In at least three
countries, water source type was a determinant of service reliability, regular tariff payments were
linked with reduced reliability, and the number of water sources households used was negatively
associated with reliability. We will discuss implications for development of drinking water
infrastructure in low-income settings.
