A better understanding of household water use in developing countries is necessary to manage and expand water systems … more effectively. Several meta-analyzes have examined the determinants of household water demand in industrialized … countries, but little effort has been made to synthesize the growing body of literature evaluating household water demand in …

We estimate annualized values of access to home tap water in three cities in El Salvador, and marginal 'barrios' in … four Guatemalan cities, using a hedonic price method for studying changes in capitalized home values from obtaining a water … connection. A tap water connection is found to add from 10 per cent to 52 per cent to sales values of homes in our sample. The …
