While much is being done to extend water provision systems to the urban poor, the roots of urban water scarcity are complex and difficult to resolve. Today, as urban water scarcity worsens, research is needed to help mitigate its impact on the environment and human welfare. This study is designed to engage with interdisciplinary scholarship on two practical problems in urban water scarcity:small-scale human-environment interactions and changing survival strategies among the urban poor
