 The
Marunda project in Jakarta illustrates how poorer communities
can gain water security. However, it also shows the involvement
of private companies like Thames Water in improving water management
in some developing countries.
To
find out more about how and why private companies are involved
in global water resource management, and what problems remain
for poorer people to achieve water security, you can ask Mike
Brophy, Community Affairs Manager of Thames Water.
You
may want to find out more about:
-
How Thames Water got involved in Jakarta's water
management in the first place.
-
How
local people were involved in the Marunda project.
-
How
the water industry in the UK compares with other
countries in its involvement around the world.
-
What
happens to the Marunda project when Thames Water's
contract in Jakarta ends.
-
Other
organisations that are helping to solve problems
of water poverty.
-
How you and your school can support a similar
project in the developing world.

Alternatively,
you can respond to the questions that other people
have sent in, or write in with your views on any
aspect of water management...for instance, if
access to water is supposed to be a human right,
shouldn't poorer people get water for free?
