to improve the quantity or quality of the water. Are there any advantages to water privatization? The answer is yes, but it depends on what the situation is.
Some privatization schemes have been effective. One launched in Thailand in 1998 proved, in analyzing household-level data for the poor, that a privatization scheme worked,
demonstrating improvement when it came to access to piped water, in spite of connection cost increases and monthly charges (Zaki, 2009). Zaki demonstrated in his analysis of this particular scheme
that associated benefits from access (though it was more expensive) included improved service and quality. But things are vastly different in India.
