This paper argues that small-scale productive uses of water such as for garden irrigation, keeping livestock, post-harvest
crop processing and other micro-enterprises should receive better consideration in the planning of domestic water supply
systems. Currently opportunities are being lost to maximize the impacts on poverty alleviation of improvements in water
supply, and sustainability is undermined by failing to address the productive needs of users. An agenda for possible policy
change, implementation actions and further research is included based upon the outcomes of an earlier international
symposium.
