The purpose of this study is to investigate the cost‐effectiveness of community managed village water supply systems in the Dry Zone. The results of this study will inform the WASH component as well as the social protection component in selecting suitable water sources and ways to let the community manage the resources only if sufficient revenue is generated so that communities have the resources to maintain and repair the water supply systems.
The objective is to get the information of revenue/profit (in terms of money) of private and village operated water supply systems to provide business information to potential investors (community/VDC) and rural financial service providers to implement the self‐help community manage water supply system.
