Safe Water Systems
Safe Water Systems (SWS) are community-based approaches designed to provide safe drinking water and promote hygiene practices, particularly in areas with limited access to clean water. SWS typically involve simple water treatment methods, like chlorination or solar disinfection, and educational efforts about sanitation and hygiene. By empowering local populations with the tools and knowledge to purify their water, SWS aim to reduce waterborne diseases and improve overall health. This method emphasizes sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and community involvement, making it an effective strategy for addressing water quality issues in vulnerable populations.
