Abstract:
This document makes a review of the effectiveness of water quality interventions to prevent diarrhoea. The analysis is based on cost information from 28 country programmes and computes the cost-effectiveness of conventional improvements of water quality at the source (well, borehole, communal stand post) and four interventions to improve water quality at the household level (chlorination, filtration, solar disinfection and combined flocculation/disinfection). It then employs the generalized cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) methodology developed by the WHO under its CHOICE project in order to assess the cost-effectiveness of these interventions in 10 WHO epidemiological sub-regions with lower levels of improved water and sanitation coverage.
