Investigating the incremental health benefits of improving water quantity versus improving water quality using riverbank filtration technology (RBF) in six rural communities in India

腹泻是全球主要的死亡和疾病原因，主要是由于不安全的水、不适当的卫生设施和糟糕的个人卫生。河水是印度常见的水源，但水质经常受到污染的影响。河岸过滤技术(RBF)是一种廉价的水质改善手段。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。

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.
