Equity

Minor point on the 5 species of water poverty-why is the word “equitable” needed in 2? I would think that just access covers it, at least in the first instance. If inequity in access to water leads to power differentials or something like that and then causes poverty, that is something else. But probably too far down the line for us?

    I think I included equity to distinguish between physical access to water and entitlement.

    The pipe may go past my farm but am I entitled to use it?

    One requires investment in infrastructure, the other better institution
