Misati, A. G., Ogendi, G., Peletz, R., Khush, R., Kumpel, E. (2017) Can Sanitary Surveys Replace Water Quality Testing? Evidence from Kisii, Kenya.
Information about the quality of rural drinking water sources can be used to manage their safety and mitigate risks to health. Sanitary surveys, which are observational checklists to assess hazards present at water sources, are simpler to conduct than microbial tests. We assessed whether sanitary survey results were associated with measured indicator bacteria levels in rural drinking water sources in Kisii Central, Kenya. Overall, thermotolerant coliform (TTC) levels were […]
