Abstract: Water poverty is a condition in which people does not have access to safe, clean and enough quantity of water to satisfy their needs. This brief review gives a glimpse to the water poverty analysis using a holistic water management tool called Water Poverty Index (WPI), which is developed by Sullivan et al. to consider all the aspects involved with water management.). Water poverty index (WIP) encapsulates data on water resources, access, use, socio-economic capacity and the environmental water quality, which aids water monitoring agencies to analyze water situation in the giver region. The major advantages and the challenges in the implementation of this method is critically evaluating in this mini review.
