Having clean water and sanitation means being able to avoid exposure to countless diseases. Every year, millions of people die from diseases caused by inadequate water supply, sanitation, and hygiene. The book is intended to examine and describe the gaps in the existing water, sanitation, and hygiene interventions to improve health outcomes such as acute respiratory infections, diarrheal episodes, and absenteeism in various settings. It provides an understanding in the context of wider public health challenges and illustrates the practical interventions necessary to deliver on health and wider development/emergency needs.
