Water vending in urban Sudan
نویسندگان
چکیده
Water vendors, selling water door-to-door from donkey carts, are an important source of domestic supply in low-income urban areas in Sudan, as in other developing countries. A study of the demand for this service showed that it was of negligible elasticity, with no evidence of direct control of the price by a monopoly or cartel. It follows that the price of water paid by the poor could be greatly reduced by increased availability of water to the vendors or of credit for the purchase of donkeys and carts.
