Abstract

In general, women still have limited opportunities to influence the design and operation of domestic water supply projects for their productive uses of water and time. This document describes a pilot research carried out in Gujarat, India. Together with the women and men concerned, the following issues were assessed: the relevance of women's productive uses of water, the time gains for the family, the impact of such uses on gender relations, and the implications for policies, project design and operations management.
