Water sourcesConsider that water might be contaminated withvibrio cholerae where there is contact with:
• People who have cholera (remember they may be asymptomatic)
• Contaminated articles such as buckets, cups and clothes e.g. washing of patients beddings and clothes
• Faecal material e.g. when latrines are close to wells

Other ways of accessing water
• Vendors• Water trucking• Standpipe

Water trucking• Provides immediate supply• Water source and quality can be controlled
Considerations:• Number of trucks to ensure adequate water supply • Cost very high • Requires close monitoring • Offloading to storage facility

Importance of proper assessment • Have the different sources of contaminated water been
identified?• Can and have these sources been disinfected?• If not; are there any measures taken to ensure safe
water at household level, or have other water sources been provided?
• If wells are chlorinated is monitoring of residual chlorine levels taking place?
• Is there any system to provide safe water to high risk areas during an outbreak?
• Does population receive at least 15l of water /person /day?
• If chlorine tablets are provided at HH level does the population know how to use them properly?

Water Quality
•Physical E.g. turbidity, colour•ChemicalE.g. iron, arsenic•Microbiological and biological
E.g. bacteria, protozoa

During a cholera outbreak the most significant parameter to follow up are the bacteriological parameter
![Page 15: Key responses – Water Water supply priorities in cholera / AWD response](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816611550346895dd959d8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Sphere key indictors for water quality
• Turbidity (cloudiness index) - less than 5 NTU
• Faecal coliform - 0 FC/ 100 ml
• Residual chlorine (if water is disinfected) – 0.5 mg/l (for piped systems and during outbreaks)
![Page 16: Key responses – Water Water supply priorities in cholera / AWD response](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816611550346895dd959d8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Turbidity• Refers to clarity of water i.e. the
greater the amount of total suspended solids the higher the turbidity
• Affects disinfection: high turbidity protects micro-organisms from the action of disinfectants

How to test turbidity ?
• Turbidity tube (most common field method)
• Secchi disk
• Electronic devises

Microbiological and Biological Water Quality
• E-coli is used as an indicator for faecal contamination
• Testing for E-coli is not always required if the water is going to be treated anyway
• SPHERE key indicator Faecal coliform - 0 FC/ 100 mlRecommendation is to treat (chlorinate) alldrinking water and water used for cooking
during a cholera outbreak

How to test microbiological quality in the field
• DelAqua kit• Wagtech
• H2S
• No field tests to detect V.C from water source

• An on-site testing method for microbial quality of drinking water
• Faeces contain a high concentration of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) producing bacteria so water contaminated with faeces will react
Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) tests
Result: Yes / no (presence/ absence)
Turns black when it comes incontact with hydrogensulphide

Water, sanitation, and hygiene interventions to reduce diarrhoea in less developed countries: a systematic review and meta-analysis, Fewtrell et al
(2005)
Data leads to some controversy, partly of the difficulty of splitting impacts of interventions. For example:
* Hand-washing is not possible without a water supply, so ‘hand-washing’ is in fact ‘water supply and hand-washing’
** Water quality at household will also have involved some hygiene promotion when setting up the household water treatment processes
