Abstract

This paper discusses the principles underlying sound water policies, examples of good practice in applying those principles, and suggestions for the approaches that could be followed by the Department for International Development (DFID) in the future. In a paper of this length, some knowledge of the factual situation and problems of the water sector in developing countries will be assumed. The paper first considers the underlying principles that form water policy and then outlines some of the issues and controversies. Water policy aims and options are then examined and approaches that might be followed by DFID are suggested.
