Household Water Storage, Handling and Point-of-Use Treatment

This review carefully summarises the growing body of research on storing, handling and treating water in the home. In doing so, it builds on the pioneering report on household water management prepared by professor Mark Sobsey for the World Health Organisation (WHO). It provides compelling evidence that interventions to improve the microbial quality of water at the point of use are as effective as other environmental measures, such as hygiene and sanitation, in preventing diarrhoeal disease.
