This is the synthesis report of the e-discussion on multiple-use water services which was held from 28 April - 24 May 2014.

The e-discussion aimed to:

• Improve understanding among water practitioners of the MUS approach and explore how it links with issues of interest to RWSN: household investments in self-supply for multiple uses, equity considerations in multiple uses and the relation between multiple uses of water and sustainable services.
• Bring together a network of practitioners from different disciplines to share learning from approaches that have worked or have not.
• Unlock practical experience and capture in a synthesis. The synthesis will outline current knowledge gaps, policy implications, and highlight issues for the four RWSN thematic groups to take forward.
• Identify immediate and longer term actions for the MUS group and RWSN members.
