The PRODWAT Case Study Award is open to researchers, practitioners and students working in the South: in South America, the Carribean, Africa or Asia. Papers may be submitted by joint or single authors.

The Case Study Award is for a study on the areas of interest of the PRODWAT group. For some more information see the group website at www.irc.nl/prodwat Case studies should be on the multiple use of water services at the local scale: emphasising the negative or positive role of productive uses of water at the household/village/local level alongside traditionally recognised domestic uses. Possible topics might include the role of household water supplies in gardening and urban agriculture, for livestock, and for micro-enterprises. Case studies may emphasise technical, social, political, economic or institutional issues in water development and management for multiple uses at the local scale.

Case studies can be submitted at any time before 30 October 2005. The winning case study will be announced before December 2005.
