Why do you think there are so few cases of private water supply in the world?
There are very few cases of private water supply in the world, mainly because water is a public facility, and its supply is often considered a function of the government. The reason behind this is that it is the right of every person to have sufficient access to water at an affordable price. In many cases where the responsibility for water supply was given to private companies, there was a significant rise in water prices, making it unaffordable for many. This led to protests and riots, forcing the government to take back the service from private hands.

How does the lack of public facilities in slums affect the quality of life of its residents?
The lack of public facilities such as water, electricity, and proper sanitation in slums significantly disrupts the quality of life of its residents. The scarcity of water results in poor hygiene and health conditions. Inadequate electricity impacts the daily routines, education, and security of the inhabitants. The absence of proper sanitation facilities exposes residents to water-borne diseases and impacts women and girls more acutely due to privacy and safety reasons. Many slum dwellers are unable to afford private facilities, which are often their only alternative. All these factors cumulatively prevent the inhabitants from leading a decent life.
Why do private companies show less interest in providing public facilities that lack substantial profit margins, such as sanitation or water supply in rural areas?
