This module assesses water quality by examining the pollution of water sources, as well as its suitability for human consumption and agricultural activities.
Contribution to resilience
Clean water is essential to the health of household members and the productivity of livestock and crops. Deteriorating water quality increases health risks, reduces yields and weakens farming systems. Protecting and monitoring water quality thus contributes to the sustainability of agro-ecosystems and strengthens their ability to cope with environmental pressures.
Collected information
- Presence of pollution/contamination of water sources used
- Mitigation measures in place
- Household water treatment methods
- Satisfaction with water quality for human consumption, irrigation and livestock
