Diarrhoea is a leading cause of death and disease globally, largely attributable to unsafe water, inadequate sanitation and poor hygiene. River water is a common water source in India, but water quality is often compromised by contamination. Riverbank Filtration technology (RBF) is an inexpensive means to improve water quality. This project will investigate the health benefits of improving water quantity versus improving water quality using RBF technology in six rural Indian communities.

腹泻是全球死亡和疾病的主要原因，很大程度上归因于不安全的水、卫生设施不足和个人卫生条件差。河水是印度常见的水源，但水质经常受到污染。河岸过滤技术（RBF）是一种廉价的改善水质的方法。该项目将在印度六个农村社区调查使用 RBF 技术改善水量与改善水质的健康益处。
