However, the decentralisation experience in the agricultural sector has resulted in gains for water users who now have more local control and authority over how to manage water. Historical over-exploitation of agricultural water has been a factor in uniting water users in irrigating communities to design strategies that allow them to continue production. For example, the strategic goal of the Agenda related to “universal access to water services” makes a distinction between urban and rural regions for what regards wastewater treatment in medium-sized and rural localities, the construction of wells, and rainwater harvesting.
