Learn About Chlorine

A collection of short e-learning tools and job aids to help water technicians treat, disinfect and safely handle drinking water under field conditions.

This collection contains the resources for both trainers and participants for the Household Water Treatment and Safe Storage Program Design workshop. The intended participants are people responsible for making decisions about HWTS program design and implementation.

This collection contains the resources for both trainers and participants for the Household Water Treatment and Safe Storage workshop. This two to three day workshop provides an introduction to drinking water quality, the Multi-Barrier Approach to safe drinking water, household water treatment and safe storage (HWTS) options, behaviour change, and implementation best practices. The intended participants are people responsible for making decisions about HWTS selection and implementation.

Use this infographic to raise awareness about an invisible threat lurking in drinking water containers called biofilm. This poster explains what biofilm is, the threat it poses, risk factors for its formation and how you can prevent it.

Use this Excel calculator to determine the amount of chlorine required to disinfect storage tanks and tankers through shock chlorination. This method is recommended for new tanks or when there is evidence of microbial contamination.

In this interactive module, learn how to ensure water stays safe on its journey from the source to its point of use.

How do you prevent and treat contaminated drinking water? Learn about the multi-barrier approach to ensure that water is safe to drink.

Are you providing households with the best drinking water container possible? Use this checklist to evaluate which type of container is best for your situation and learn how to properly clean the most common drinking water containers.

This technical brief describes the multi-barrier approach to safe drinking water. It lists the most common causes of contamination at the source, during transportation and during storage. It also describes actions you or the community you work with can take to improve drinking water safety. These include practices for source protection, safe water transportation, household water treatment, and safe storage.
