在撒哈拉以南非洲的许多城市非正规住区，浅手挖井通常用于补充部分或间歇性的自来水覆盖。此类井常常受到微生物污染。本研究旨在量化此类地下水的消耗量，确定井主和消费者的社会经济状况，以及肯尼亚基苏木非正规住区的生活用水模式。基于之前的研究，我们对 51 名井主和 137 名井客户进行了采访，内容涉及井水抽取、水的使用和处理模式、资产所有权和服务获取。据估计，两个非正规住区每天抽取 472 立方米的地下水，大多数地下水消费者将这些水用于饮用或烹饪以外的目的。根据资产指数，井主比购买地下水的客户和使用未经处理的地下水饮用或做饭的客户要富裕得多。这表明浅层地下水源为较贫困的城市家庭提供了大量的水用于除饮用和烹饪之外的家庭用途。因此，当前的挑战是提高少数饮用未经处理地下水的消费者对此类水的健康风险的认识，并找到与井主合作管理井水质的方法。
Shallow hand-dug wells are commonly used to supplement partial or intermittent piped water coverage in many urban informal settlements in sub-Saharan Africa. Such wells are often microbially contaminated. This study aimed to quantify the amount of such groundwater consumed, identify the socio-economic profile of well owners and consumers, and patterns of domestic water usage in informal settlements in Kisumu, Kenya. Building on a previous study, 51 well owners and 137 well customers were interviewed about well water abstraction, water usage and handling patterns, asset ownership, and service access. An estimated 472 m3of groundwater per day was abstracted in two informal settlements, with most groundwater consumers using this water for purposes other than drinking or cooking. According to an asset index, well owners were significantly wealthier than both the customers purchasing their groundwater and those drinking or cooking with untreated groundwater. This suggests that shallow groundwater sources provide poorer urban households with a substantial volume of water for domestic purposes other than drinking and cooking. Ongoing challenges are thus to raise awareness of the health risks of such water among the minority of consumers who consume untreated groundwater and find means of working with well owners to manage well water quality.
