WELL Factsheet: Chlorination: a contribution to reducing diarrhoeal diseases

Chlorination is the most widely used method of disinfection of water supplies in developed and developing countries. The main focus of this factsheet is the use of chlorination with small-scale water supplies in developing countries. Some suitable books and web addresses are listed on the last page, for readers seeking more comprehensive information on the topic

Produced by WEDC and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine for the Department of International Development (DFID) of the UK government (now the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO)), this archive collection of WELL factsheets remains relevant. It covers topics ranging from the anaerobic treatment of municipal wastewater through to water quality and safety plans.
