Household water treatment and safe storage (HWTS) can be an effective way to improve access to safe drinking water in areas where centralized water treatment systems are not available or are unreliable. Case studies in the collection highlight a variety of HWTS technologies, including chlorine tablets, ceramic filters, and solar disinfection systems.

Successful HWTS programs require careful planning and management, including community engagement, education, and monitoring and evaluation. Case studies in the collection provide examples of how to design and implement effective HWTS programs, as well as how to measure their impact on water quality and health outcomes.

HWTS programs can have a positive impact on a range of health outcomes, including reducing the incidence of diarrheal disease and improving child growth and development. Case studies in the collection provide evidence of the effectiveness of HWTS programs in improving health outcomes, as well as examples of how to measure and communicate these impacts to stakeholders.
