Modelling Formal and Informal Domestic Water Consumption in Nairobi

Urban utilities in developing countries are often unwilling to extend coverage or improve services for fear that not enough water is available. This study used modelling to project the city-level water demand implications of slum water improvements in Nairobi (Kenya). The research collated existing data around water use patterns and also used purpose-designed surveys to explore usage and demand in slum communities in more depth.
