Abstract
Universal provision of adequate potable water, preferably at the individual house level is essential. Tensions arise when money has to be collected for repairs to communal water pipes and motors, caused by engineering flaws and mineral deposits. Collective payment of corridor light bills also causes conflict when lights continue to fail. Residents have no control over resources or the resettlement process. The already stressed livelihoods of many residents, and deprivations created by resettlement result in further conflicts fuelled by lack of water and sanitation, and social disruptions that make dialogue, cooperation and collective action difficult.
