  1. WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation (JMP)Rapid Assessment of Drinking Water Quality World Water ForumMexico, March 2006 José Augusto Hueb World Health Organization

  2. Background • Improved vs. safe • MDG: “access to safe drinking water” • Include water quality indicators into JMP

  3. Improved and unimproved drinking water sources • Improved water sources • Household connection • Public standpipe • Borehole • Protected dug well • Protected spring • Rainwater collection • Unimproved-water sources • Unprotected well • Unprotected spring • Vendor provided water • Bottled water • Tanker truck provided water

  4. "Handbook for rapid assessments of drinking water quality" WHO, UNICEF, WEDC

  5. Criteria in Defining Project • Cost-effective – affordable • Periodic sampling • Allows for risk assessment • Quantitative and qualitative data • Compatible with existing WQ surveillance infrastructure "Handbook for rapid assessments of drinking water quality" WHO, UNICEF, WEDC

  6. Objective • To obtain a nationally representative picture of drinking water quality in 6 countries according to the different types of improved sources • Field test the rapid-assessment methods for water quality surveillance, using low-cost, field-based techniques allowing reliable periodic assessments of the water quality status.

  7. Pilot Countries • China • Ethiopia • Jordan • Nicaragua • Nigeria • Tajikistan

  8. Implementation plan • Implementation: 2004-2005 • National reports: January-April 2006 • Consolidated report: May-July 2006 • Launch: August 2006

  9. Follow-up • Revise protocol for rapid assessments • Wide dissemination • Going to scale • Promoting inclusion of rapid assessments in existing WQ surveillance programs • Inclusion of WQ data into the JMP coverage analysis • Study feasibility of including a simplified protocol of RADWQ into surveys such as MICS, DHS, etc. • Study use of the RADWQ outputs for the JMP estimates of coverage
