Changing Household Water Rights in Rural Northern Ghana

Irit Eguavoen

Development, 2008, vol. 51, issue 1, 126-129

Abstract: In rural northern Ghana, changing hydrology and donor policies impact on household water supply and water rights. Ghana has adopted the community-based management approach in its national drinking water policy. Irit Eguavoen looks at how some policy concepts contradict pre-existing water rights; water users are challenged to balance project requirements, local norms, and ecological circumstances leading to divergent priorities and to more restricted access to water.
