The Impact of Tap Connection on Water Use : The Case of Household Water Consumption in Dakar, Senegal

Predicting residential water demand for non-connected households that obtain connections is a crucial issue for water planners in developing countries. We propose a technique derived from Heckman (1976) to accurately measure the expected increase in water use due to access to tap water while control...

We propose a technique derived from Heckman (1976) to accurately measure the expected increase in water use due to access to tap water while controlling for differences in characteristics between connected and non-connected households. Illustration is made on a cross section of 246 households from Dakar, Senegal. We show that getting a tap connection induces an expected increase in water use of 26 L per capita per day. 2012-03-30T07:32:56Z 2012-03-30T07:32:56Z 2010 Journal Article Environment and Development Economics 1355770X http://hdl.handle.net/10986/5459 EN http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Journal Article Senegal
