Household test water treatment : chlorination-the Safe Water System

Studies have shown that household water treatment and safe storage interventions improve water quality and reduce diarrheal disease incidence in developing countries. Five of these proven options \u2013 chlorination, solar disinfection, ceramic filtration, slow sand filtration, and flocculation/disinfection \u2013 are widely implemented in developing countries. The decision of selecting which options are most appropriate for a community is often difficult, depending on existing water and sanitation conditions, cultural acceptability, implementation feasibility, availability of technology, and other local conditions. This series of technical bulletins is designed to assist organizations in comparing and selecting the most appropriate options.Chlorination_2011-final2.pd
