The sector has separated water resources and water production roles from water supply asset holding and from water services management. It has also created a regulatory structure and body that has struck a balance between government and private-sector management while giving increasing voice to consumers. The reform process continues today, with expected modifications at decentralized levels of governance. After more than a decade emphasizing service expansion, service sustainability needs attention. The urban water delegated management framework's greatest challenge lies in maintaining operational cost recovery and making steady progress on capital cost recovery. The challenge for rural water supply lies not simply in expanding access, but in ensuring sustainable services. Progress in urban and rural sanitation has stagnated, and updated approaches to service delivery are urgently needed. Sector information management systems and human resource development have not kept pace with institutional expansion, resulting in a potential drag on long-term planning, financing, and implementation.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOADEQUATE SANITATIONALLOCATION SYSTEMASSET HOLDERCENTRAL GOVERNMENTCITY WATERCITY WATER SUPPLIESCITY WATER SUPPLYCOMMUNITY GROUPSCOMMUNITY MANAGEMENTCONNECTIONCONNECTION FEESCOST RECOVERYCOVERINGDAMSDECISION MAKERSDECISION MAKINGDISTRICT AUTHORITIESDRAINDRINKING WATERHANDPUMPSHIGH LEVELSHOUSE CONNECTIONSHOUSEHOLD CONNECTIONSHOUSEHOLDSHYGIENEHYGIENE PROMOTIONIMPROVING SERVICE DELIVERYINVESTMENT DECISIONSINVESTMENT PROGRAMINVESTMENT REQUIREMENTSIRRIGATIONLARGE URBAN AREASLATRINELATRINE CONSTRUCTIONLATRINESMUNICIPAL COUNCILMUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTSMUNICIPAL WATERMUNICIPAL WATER COMPANIESMUNICIPALITIESNATIONAL WATERNATIONAL WATER POLICYNATIONAL WATER SECTORNATIONAL WATER SUPPLYNONREVENUE WATERNUMBER OF WATEROPEN DEFECATIONOPERATIONAL EFFICIENCYOPERATIONAL EXPENSESOPERATIONAL PERFORMANCEPERFORMANCE INDICATORSPIPED WATERPRIVATE OPERATORPROJECT MANAGEMENTPROVINCIAL GOVERNMENTSPROVINCIAL WATERPUBLIC WATERPUBLIC WATER SUPPLIESPUBLIC WORKSQUALITY OF SERVICEREGIONAL WATER RESOURCESREGULATORY AGENCYRIVERSRUNNING WATERRURAL SANITATIONRURAL WATERRURAL WATER PROJECTRURAL WATER SUPPLYRURAL WATER SUPPLY SYSTEMSSAFE WATERSANITATION ACCESSSANITATION ACTIVITIESSANITATION COMPONENTSANITATION COVERAGESANITATION FACILITIESSANITATION INFRASTRUCTURESANITATION INVESTMENTSANITATION MANAGEMENTSANITATION OPERATIONSSANITATION PROGRAMSANITATION SECTORSANITATION SERVICESANITATION SERVICE DELIVERYSANITATION SERVICESSANITATION SOLUTIONSSANITATION SYSTEMSSANITATION WATERSEPTIC TANKSSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE PROVISIONSERVICE QUALITYSEWER NETWORKSSEWER SYSTEMSEWERAGESPARE PARTSSUPPLY WATERSUSTAINABLE SERVICE PROVISIONSUSTAINABLE SERVICESTARIFF POLICYTOWNTOWN WATERTOWN WATER SUPPLYTOWNSURBAN AREASURBAN SANITATIONURBAN WATERURBAN WATER SUPPLYURBAN WATER SUPPLY COVERAGEUTILITIESUTILITY REVENUESWASHINGWATER FEESWATER LAWWATER OPERATORSWATER POINTWATER POINTSWATER POLICYWATER PRODUCTIONWATER PROVIDERSWATER QUALITYWATER QUALITY REGULATIONSWATER RESOURCESWATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENTWATER SECTORWATER SERVICESWATER SOURCEWATER SOURCESWATER SUPPLIESWATER SUPPLYWATER SUPPLY SYSTEMWATER SUPPLY SYSTEMSWATER SYSTEMWATER TARIFFWATER USERSWATER UTILITYWorld Bank10.1596/12888
