Presentation - The Case for Household Water Treatment
Recent reports from the World Health Organization (WHO), the WHO-UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP), and United Nations (UN) Water show that safely managed drinking water is not on track globally to achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6.1: universal access to safely managed drinking water.
Water quality often declines between source and consumption due to contamination during transport, storage, and handling.
Drawing on these reports, this presentation summarizes an evidence brief and highlights household water treatment and safe storage (HWTS) as a proven, complementary approach to protecting drinking water quality at the point of use.
