Water insecurity and water governance in urban Kenyapolicy and practice /[electronic resource] :by Anindita Sarkar. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2022. - xvi, 181 p. :ill. (chiefly color), digital ;24 cm. - Global challenges in water governance. - Global challenges in water governance..

This book explores water service provisions of the urban poor in the cities of Africa with particular emphasis on Kenya and its capital city of Nairobi. In particular the book addresses the insecurity of tenure, and how the colonial segregation of land continues to shape water access and service provision even today in Nairobi. The book seeks to understand how urban water management entails the "production of thirst" among the urban poor and documents how cultural norms, political commitments and seemingly mundane practices of water managers combine to exclude the poor from accessing water. Supporters of privatization argue that private companies may succeed where governments have failed in supplying water to the urban poor. The author takes a closer look at this argument, demonstrating the limitations of some of the current reforms whilst also exploring alternatives and solutions. This book will be an invaluable reference for students, researchers and practitioners working in this field. Dr. Anindita Sarkar is an Associate Professor at the Department of Geography at Miranda House, University of Delhi, where she has been teaching since 2005. Her research is anchored at the intersection of development and environment and how technologies and policies of resource use and access shape spaces.
