WATERA Matter of Life and Health
Maggie Black has written extensively on water-relatedissues for Unicef and other international organizations.Rupert Talbot has spent over thirty years with Unicef’sWater and Environmental Sanitation Programmes inEthiopia, Sri Lanka, and India.
At a time when India faces serious problems of freshwaterscarcity, groundwater depletion and environmentalpollution, there is much to be learned from current andpast programme experiences. This book examines criticallywhat has been done and needs to be done to fulfill thepromise of ‘drinking water and sanitation for all’. The central theme is Unicef’s 35-year programme ofsupport to rural water supplies in India—the largest andlongest in the organization’s history— which has helpedbring water and sanitation to millions of villagers.However, as water tables drop and contamination mounts,serious difficulties persist. How will they and their childrencope? This book explores community-led, NGO and governmentapproaches alike. From the Rajasthani farmer facing thefifth successive year of drought, to the sanitation mistri inWest Bengal, to the Mysore school children chanting safewater messages, this is an account which brings to lifeIndia’s perennial problems with water and health, askinghow —and whether— they can be solved.
Readership:This interdisciplinary and topical book echoesenvironmental thinking in India and will appeal toenvironmentalists, public health specialists, water activistsand development practitioners. It will be especially usefulto policy-makers, NGOs, international aid agencies, andresearchers in the water supply sector.

This is a fascinating book, the story of how clean water and
better sanitation were brought to thousands of Indian
villages. The story is far from being one of linear progress:
the ideological and technical debates come alive in these
pages, as development fashions change and technological
solutions vie with those rooted in community mobilization.
This is development as it really is: complex, slow, conflictual,
uneven – but ultimately inspiring.
— SIMON MAXWELL, Director,
Overseas Development Institute, London
This story of the largest rural water supply programme in the
world should be read by everyone with a stake or interest in
development policy, health services and poverty reduction
strategies. It is one of the best analyses of what works and
what can go wrong in rural development I have ever seen.
UNICEF deserves credit for facilitating such an interesting
and honest learning piece for us all.
— CLAUDE MARTIN, Director General, WWF International
‘Maggie Black and Rupert Talbot have produced a wonder-
fully readable account of what India has faced, and now
faces, in terms of rural drinking water crises. Their book will
help us chart our future mission.’
— SUNITA NARAIN, Director,
Centre for Science and Environment, New Delhi
This primary source book on drinking water and sanitation is
going to be of immense value to state governments, field
workers, policy-makers, donors and NGOs. A rare
combination of social science insights and policy studies, it
provides vital reference material for researchers and
academics interested in people’s participation and the use of
technology for meeting basic needs.
— N.C. SAXENA, former Secretary,
Planning Commission, Government of India
