Description: Water Insecurity and Water Governance in Urban Kenya : Policy and Practice, Hardcover by Sarkar, Anindita, ISBN 3031155386, ISBN-13 9783031155383, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This book explores water service provisions of the urban poor in the cities of Africa with particular emphasis on Kenya and its capital city of Nairobi. In particular th addresses the insecurity of tenure, and how the colonial segregation of land continues to shape water access and service provision even today in Nairobi. Th seeks to understand how urban water management entails the “production of thirst” among the urban poor and documents how cultural norms, political commitments and seemingly mundane practices of water managers combine to exclude the poor from accessing water. Supporters of privatization argue that private companies may succeed where governments have failed in supplying water to the urban poor. The author takes a closer look at this argument, demonstrating the limitations of some of the current reforms whilst also exploring alternatives and solutions. This book will be an invaluable reference for students, researchers and practitioners working in this field.
