WELL Factsheet: Household water treatment

Household-based approaches to water treatment may be more effective and cost-effective means of preventing diarrhoeal disease than conventional treatment at the source. This fact sheet summarizes the available evidence and some of the leading approaches.

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.
