Question

Public Water supply in Porto Alegre

Porto Alegre is a city in Brazil. Though there are many poor people in this city, what is remarkable is that it

has a far lower number of infant deaths as compared to most other cities of the world. The city’s water department

has achieved universal access to safe water and this is the main reason behind the lower number of infant deaths.

The average price of water is kept low and the poor are charged half the basic rate. Whatever profit the department

makes is used to improve the water supply. The working of the water department is transparent and the people can

have a direct say in deciding which projects the department should take up.

23.2 Why do you think the distribution of water facilities in our country is not adequate and fair?​
