Description

Definition

Safe water is defined as percentage of population with reasonable access to an adequate amount of safe water, including treated surface water and untreated but uncontaminated water such as from springs, sanitary wells, and protected boreholes. In urban areas this may be a public fountain or standpipe located no more than 200 m from the dwelling. In rural areas, the definition implies that members of the household do not have to spend a disproportionate part of the day fetching water. Sanitation is defined as percentage of population with at least adequate excreta disposal facilities that can effectively prevent human, animal and insect contact with excreta. Suitable facilities range from simple but protected pit latrines to flush toilets with sewerage connection.
