Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It was found that household water treatment (HWT) can increase the access to safe drinking water in Hanoi by 8% to 20%. A HWT using reverse osmosis membrane can remove fluoride in groundwater in Chiang Mai. In Kathmandu, Nepal, a half of the residents can use piped water less than 6 hours per week, and a half of the piped water samples were contaminated by E. coli. However, HWTs can increase the access to safe drinking water from 42% to 80%. It was revealed by a questionnaire survey that the zero customers, who do not use piped water even they are connected, are small in their numbers in coastal areas, but a large proportion of the residents are zero customers in inland areas where they can use groundwater.
