  2. Reminder (1): What is a sanitary survey? • 10-12 questions (Yes or No) addressing the sanitary-risk factors • Example: assessment of risk of contamination of a hand-dug well

  3. Reminder (2): How is the sanitary risk established? • Each risk receives equal weighting: • Yes = 1 • No = 0 • Establish the “sanitary risk score” • Define risk categories • Example:

  4. Reminder (3): What it is used for? • To assess the likely quality of water • Example: • Open well, well/borehole with hand pump or motorised pump system • Protected spring • Piped supply pp 682-685

  5. When can it be used? (1) • Instead of bacteriological water analysis • But no or poor evidence of a correlation between E. coli content & Risk score ! • Assessment • Target water points/beneficiaries in relation to the sanitary risk • Example: Cholera in Zimbabwe, a project in Sierra Leone 2 years later…

  6. When can it be used? (2) • Evaluation or impact indicator • Measure the impact of an activity/result/objective (write it in the LFA!) • Example: Water management at HH level in Nepal

  7. What else can be done? (1) • Use the sanitary survey format to make your own form! • Example 1: Risk of contamination in case of floods in Mongolia

  8. What else can be done? (2) • Use the sanitary survey format to make your own survey! • Example 2: PDM of ceramic filters in Haiti • 3 months after distribution, 80.6% of the beneficiaries use their filters in a “safe manner” (8 or 9 or 10 x YES)

  9. A great tool!
