在许多发展中国家，人们普遍使用多种水源来满足家庭用水需求，并据报有这种做法。然而，它通常被执行者，发展组织和研究人员忽视，他们倾向于只关注“饮用水的主要来源”。“在这一视角中，我们解释了发展中国家家庭层面多水源使用的性质和范围。我们还描述了MWSU对人类健康和水恢复力的影响，并确定了与MWSU相关的关键知识差距，风险和机遇。最后，我们认为，了解MWSU是可行的研究人员和实施者，并正确设计研究和供水项目是必不可少的。
The routine use of multiple water sources to meet household water needs is widely practiced and has been reported in many developing countries. However, it is typically neglected by implementers, development organizations, and researchers who tend to focus exclusively on the "main source of drinking water." In this Perspective, we explain the nature and scope of multiple water source use (MWSU) at the household level in developing countries. We also describe the implications of MWSU for human health and water resilience, and identify key knowledge gaps, risks, and opportunities associated with MWSU. Finally, we argue that understanding MWSU is feasible for researchers and implementers and is essential for properly designing research studies and water supply projects.
