Keep collection and storage containers clean
Use clean containers and keep stored drinking water covered. Avoid practices that introduce dirt into the container during transport, storage or serving.
Protect water after collection
Safe household handling is part of a wider WASH system. A safer source needs to be paired with clean storage, everyday hygiene and appropriate local guidance.
Follow qualified local advice on treatment
Water-treatment needs depend on the source and conditions. Ask the relevant WASH authority for suitable treatment guidance and follow approved product instructions. This resource does not replace water-quality testing or technical advice.
