WHO International Scheme to Evaluate Household Water Treatment Technologies

The WHO International Scheme to Evaluate Household Water Treatment Technologies is a global program that assesses how effectively different methods, like chlorination or filtration, improve drinking water quality at home. It tests these technologies against established health standards to ensure they reliably remove harmful germs, chemicals, and contaminants. The goal is to help consumers, health authorities, and providers choose safe, affordable, and effective water treatment options, ultimately reducing waterborne diseases and improving public health worldwide.
