Short explanation

In many low-income countries (LICs) and newly emerging economies (NEEs), local water management schemes are crucial for enhancing sustainable water supplies. For example, a rainwater harvesting project in a rural community can significantly increase water availability during dry seasons. By collecting and storing rainwater, these schemes reduce reliance on unreliable sources and improve access to clean water. Additionally, they promote community involvement and awareness of water conservation practices, ensuring that water resources are used efficiently and sustainably, ultimately contributing to better health and economic outcomes for the community.
