“…The literature in the field of water supply has shown numerous studies on the sustainability of water supply systems. The fundamental elements that define the sustainability of water supply systems are identified, such as service availability, user satisfaction levels, water consumption, the level of payment of households for water, stability in O&M of the system, and organizational sustainability (e.g., the system's organizational structure, leadership abilities, and human resource standards) [10][11][12][13][14]26]. Several studies emphasize the requirements that must be met in order to guarantee the water supply and use system's long-term viability, including the Sustainability of input water sources; Sustainability of construction capability; Sustainability of management apparatus; Sustainability of technological advancement; and Sustainability of regular water availability [15][16][17].…”

“…The management model can affect various aspects of the water supply, such as social, economic, technical, or managerial perspectives. The sustainability of rural water supply and its services has been widely discussed in the literature, including the consideration of its impact factors (for example, see [8,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]). However, the use of quantitative analysis to evaluate the relationship of different types of management models with the sustainability of rural water supply systems is absent.…”

Clean water and sanitation is a global issue that has recently received special attention from governments and international organizations, as they essential to enhance people’s health and foster socio-economic development in different countries. Therefore, one of the United Nations’ Millennium Goals is to ensure access to safe drinking water for all as its target by 2030. However, ensuring water supply in rural regions, especially in developing countries, is a challenge. To meet the target, investing in infrastructure and maintaining the sustainability of water systems is crucial. This study takes into account the role of the management model of rural water supply systems and its relationship with the sustainability of the water systems. A weighing procedure for a sustainability assessment of rural water systems for the current study was proposed, then an ordered logit regression model was applied to examine the relationship between types of water system management models and the sustainability of the water systems in the context of Vietnam. The results from this study showed that type of management model had an influence on the sustainability of rural water supply systems, and the private management model was considered the one that significantly contributed to the sustainability of the rural water systems in the study area. The study provides some lessons learned for researchers in the field of rural water supply to select appropriate approaches to assess the sustainability of water systems and for policymakers to modify current policies toward more sustainable development of water infrastructure in the future, especially in developing countries.

“…Amid water scarcity, "Project: Water for All" brings hope. In a previous paper by Ankon et al (2022), they mentioned that community-based water supply projects rapid implementation can improve the rural water supply system. Water is a fundamental resource that supports ecosystems, communities, and individuals.…”

This study seeks to evaluate the community water tank project started by the Community Extension Service Unit (CESU) of Gordon College in Olongapo City, Philippines. A group went to the area to inspect the water tank project during the month of March 2023. They gathered data by observing and documenting the water tank and its surroundings as well as interviewed the chieftain and locals. Based on the documentation, observation, and interviews, they did not give the water tank project priority in terms of proper management and maintenance. The lack of proper knowledge in water tank maintenance contributes to this finding in the community. Based on this premise, the researchers propose a manual for maintaining the water tank for future use.

The paper addresses the often-neglected economic impacts associated with the supply of hydraulic infrastructure in rural and under-serviced communities in developing countries. We rely on a rich panel dataset including 1319 Senegalese rural households collected in 2016 and 2020, during the deployment of the first phase of the Emergency Program for Community Development (PUDC). By combining propensity score matching (PSM), inverse probability weighting, difference-in-differences, and quantile regression, we find that access to piped water improves employment in the agricultural sector but has no significant impact on household expenditures. After controlling for attrition, through PSM, we find that the employment effect operates through access to a greater quantity of water and a reduction in the time women devote to water fetching chores. Moreover, when bundled with complementary infrastructure interventions such as the construction of rural roads, we find that access to water services generates an even higher impact. The quantile analysis shows that non-poor households seem to benefit more from the provided water supply infrastructure compared to poor households. Finally, when comparing the welfare effect of government-led PUDC water supply with that of community-led initiatives, our findings advocate for the widespread implementation of the former for reasons of cost-effectiveness.
