Zusammenfassung:Using data from Sri Lanka and India, this article has shown that well-designed and well-constructed water services lead to improved household health and reduced water collection times. The results suggest that one can promote well-designed services by involving community members in the design process and by letting community members, not outsiders, make the final decision about the service type. Ensuring that communities have effective mechanisms to monitor household contributions to construction is, in turn, an effective way to promote well-constructed services. (DSE/DÜI)
