Research

This pilot project contains multiple research components:

1. studying access, functionality and quality of public water sources
2. studying what factors determine water treatment behavior 
3. studying different types of monitoring schemes (top down, student led, community-led) of water quality and how information flows

All data collected with regard to access, functionality and quality of public water sources, is shared through the mwater portal.

The results presented on this website are based on the data collected in September 2020 by a team of community monitors and students from Mzumbe University using mobile tools.
