Revisiting the self‐supply model: A foundational, not a complimentary model for water supply in rural households

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 10, Issue 4, Page 1162-1169, November 2024.

Any other model is only complementary while it lasts. Therefore, self‐supply needs more emphasis in research and intentional exposure and support in practice.
