Multiple-use water services (MUS) describe a participatory, integrated, and poverty-reduction focused approach that takes a community’s diverse water needs as the starting point for providing services.
Multiple-use water services move beyond the conventional sectoral barriers of the domestic and productive sectors and provide for all water needs in a community. The CGIAR Challenge Program-Multiple-Use Water Systems (CP-MUS) project was funded by a grant from the Challenge Program on Water and Food with the International Water Management Institute as the lead organization.
The project was focused on developing guidelines for multiple-use water services delivery as an effective way to use water for poverty alleviation and gender equity.
