title = "Investing in professionalized maintenance to increase social and economic returns from drinking water infrastructure in rural Kenya",
abstract = "Repairing rural water infrastructure quickly through professionalized maintenance can reduce costs and increase social and economic returns, with benefits for low income households and women. We estimate that over a ten-year period rural water users can spend as much on alternative water sources when waterpoints fail as is spent on the capital costs for handpumps or large piped schemes.",
