{"product_id":"pre-paid-water-metering-von-moses-kumwenda","title":"Pre-paid Water Metering","description":"\u003cp\u003ePre-paid water metering pilot project was implemented  in Klipheuwel, Cape Town, South Africa in 2001. It  was anticipated that the implementation of pre-paid  water meters would help improve the management of  water service delivery in the Cape Metropolitan Area.  However, just four years after its implementation the  project has collapsed.  This study investigated the  social factors that contributed to the failure of the  pre-paid water metering pilot project in Klipheuwel.  In particular, it examined water users¿ experiences  and attitude toward pre-paid water meters. It also  examined community perceptions of the project with  regard to the administration of free basic water; the  promotion of paying for water services; and the  promotion of a water conserving behaviour. The study  findings suggested that the project was not abandoned  because the community disliked pre-paid water meters.  In addition, that it is inadequate to base the  abandonment of the pilot project on its failure to  achieve some of its anticipated water management  potentials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783844397703\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSocial Experiences and Lessons Learned from Klipheuwel Pilot Project, South Africa\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783844397703","offer_id":39472640163933,"sku":"9783844397703","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/a488c9e9-7e77-484e-94db-f4a2b76fe167.jpg?v=1758779366","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/pre-paid-water-metering-von-moses-kumwenda","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
