estimated by the percentage of the population using improved drinking water sources:
Household connection Public standpipe Borehole Protected dug well Protected spring Rainwater collection

IAS Water Workshop October 2006
What is it for?
Monitoring Risk assessment and response Measuring MDG progress Ad-hoc surveys (inc disasters)
People power ! Communities take responsibility Households react: better HWTS Hygiene educational benefit
![Page 13: AQUATEST project Stephen Gundry Water and Environmental Management Research Centre University of Bristol](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5515fc8a550346cf6f8b5959/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
IAS Water Workshop October 2006
What is currently available? Static laboratories
Expensive equipment, consumables and high calibre staff
Long chain to get samples from field Field labs / portable labs
Much cheaper, but also trained staff Disposable tests
Presence/absence by H2S Others – expensive

IAS Water Workshop October 2006
What do we want to provide? Low cost
Target price: USD 0.10 per test Low skill
Zero training e.g. home pregnancy test Better than P/A
Not full enumeration of E. coli Bands of water quality: ‘traffic light’
Links Water Safety Plans Risk monitoring systems not compliance
