This book questions the public health policy in South Asian countries which tilts towards corporatization of water and health services, since it is in conflict with the developmental approach. The book also analyses the role of various factors influencing human health. Since literature on the interdisciplinary facet of water and health is scarce, this book will be of immense value in the area.
