The impact of domestic water on household enterprises: evidence from Vietnam

Abstract: A tiumber of rural household-based productive activities, such as kitchen gardens, livestock rearing and micro enterprises, are dependent on adequate supplies of domestic water to operate. This paper examines whether improved access to piped water can facilitate these types of activities, particularly for poor households. Usitig data from rural Vietnam, we find that most household enterprises use non-metered water and have very small profit margins. Thus, the evidence suggests that these enterprises may be bet… Show more

The concept of MUS holds much potential, since between 60 and 70 % of the rural poor are estimated to raise livestock, have access to small cultivable plots, and engage in water-dependent small enterprises (Renwick et al 2007 ).…”

“…Four papers dealt with rural WSS issues (Anim, Nyame et al 2010;Biswas and Mandal 2010;Noel, Hoang Thi et al 2010;Padawangi 2010), and three focused on urban WSS issues (Berg and Mugisha 2010;Kone 2010;Mugisha and Brown 2010).
