Consumer pumps not the worst of Delhi’s water woes
Household water pumps are a quirky feature of many urban water systems around the world. Utility operators hate them, and in many places they have been made illegal, yet their use remains widespread. A new study authored by Professor David Meyer (CivMin, ISTEP) looks at how these pumps affect water quality — and it contains some […]
