Challenges in Implementing a Point-of-Use Water Quality Intervention in Rural Kenya
To prevent diarrheal diseases in western Kenya, CARE Kenya initiated the Water, Sanitation, and Education for Health (WASEH) Project in 1998. The project targets 72 farming and fishing communities with a total population of 43 000. Although the WASEH Project facilitated construction of shallow wells and pit latrines, the water quality still needed improvement. Consequently, in 2001, CARE implemented the Safe Water System (which consists of point-…
Seeking Safe Storage
In laboratory- and village-based evaluations researchers compared chlorine decay and disinfection rates in turbid surface water that had been treated and stored in locally available clay vessels and plastic jerry cans. Three vessel types were evaluated: 1) wide-mouthed 20-liter clay vessels; 2) narrow-mouthed 20-liter clay vessels with lids and spigots; and 3) narrow-mouthed 20-liter plastic jerry cans with lids. Water was treated with 1% sodium …
