摘要坦桑尼亚达累斯萨拉姆的水域景观是不公正、不公平和不均衡的。配水和停电影响了水的可获得性，同时也影响了水供应的总体短缺。通过家庭调查和访谈，这份报告显示，大多数受访者缺乏稳定可靠的水源。为了解决供水困难的问题，家庭改变了日常生活方式，减少了用水量，并确定和使用了备用水源。了解城市的供水问题至关重要，以便作出更明智的政策决定，更公正地提供供水。
Abstract Dar es Salaam, Tanzania’s water landscape is unjust, inequitable, and uneven. Water rationing and electricity outages affect water availability alongside an overall shortfall in water supply. Using household surveys and interviews, this paper shows that a majority of respondents lack a consistently reliable source of water. To cope with poor access, households alter their daily routines, consume less water, and identify and use back-up sources of water. It is crucial to understand the problems of water availability in the city in order to make more informed policy decisions and more justly provide water access.
