“A wide body of scholarship situates water issues as part of broader debates on inequality. Where someone lives and their type of home determines their level of access to sufficient and available water. People suffer doubly when living in informal settlements or resettlement sites far from city centers. They must find various water sources to meet daily needs and pay high prices for the water, though they often live below the poverty line.”
