This workshop provides an introduction to drinking water quality, the Multi-Barrier Approach to safe drinking water, household water treatment and safe storage (HWTS), behaviour change, chlorination in emergencies and implementation best practices.
Upon completion of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- Define safe drinking water
- Identify risks to water safety from the source to a user’s glass
- Propose multiple barriers (behaviours and technologies) that reduce risks from unsafe drinking water
- Describe when and where HWTS solutions are most likely to be appropriate and effective
- Evaluate the benefits and limitations of different HWTS options
- Work with users to select appropriate HWTS options for a specific context
- Propose strategies to support behaviour change (towards correct, consistent, and continued use of HWTS systems)
- Describe considerations that increase the likelihood of sustained impact through HWTS
