Monitoring socio-climatic interactions to prioritise drinking water interventions in rural Africa

Abstract Rainfall variability and socioeconomic shocks pose a revenue risk for drinking water services in rural Africa. We examine the year-on-year and seasonal relationship between rainfall and remotely monitored water usage from rural piped schemes in four sub-Saharan countries to identify pattern...
