Origins and rationale of network
A thematic group known as PRODWAT (Productive Uses of Water at the Household Level) was established in 2003 to gain better recognition of the many productive uses of domestic water supplies and their role in contributing to the reduction of poverty. In 2006, reflecting a broader focus on improving the delivery of multiple-use water services at the household level by agencies traditionally associated with both the domestic and irrigation (productive) water sectors, the group's name was changed to the Multiple Use water Services (MUS) Group.
Objectives
To advocate for, and support, improved policy and practice in providing water services to people that respond to their full range of needs: both domestic and productive.
