Community-managed water systems

Community-managed water systems are local organizations or groups that oversee the collection, treatment, and distribution of water to their community members. These systems rely on local knowledge and collective effort to ensure reliable, safe, and affordable water access. They often involve residents in decision-making, maintenance, and funding, promoting sustainability and accountability. Such systems are common in rural or underserved areas where centralized infrastructure may be lacking, empowering communities to manage their water resources effectively and adapt to local needs and conditions.
