Quality matters: incorporating water quality into water access monitoring in rural Malawi
The Sustainable Development Goals offer an ambitious plan to achieve universal access to water that is safe and affordable. This article uses data from 139 household surveys from 13 villages in rural Malawi and Petrifilm quality testing of 27 drinking water sources to highlight areas where the goals’ proposed monitoring framework might not fully capture water quality. Households make complex water decisions and sometimes choose to use unsafe sources. Households generally do not use water treatment but universally practise water storage. This article argues for improved monitoring to more effectively and accurately measure sustainable water access.
