Journeys for Water: Survival Strategies for Urban India

Abstract

The document summarizes research conducted by frog researchers in India to understand how urban slum dwellers access and use drinking water. The researchers traveled from Ahmedabad to Delhi, visiting slums and interviewing residents. They found that while water is abundant, the supply is rarely clean and reliable. Slum residents struggle daily to obtain the water they need. The researchers hope their findings will help solutions like Sarvajal's "water ATM" model expand access to clean drinking water for slum communities.
