This 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.
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
