Description:
Worldwide, 780 million people do not have access to an improved water source

Diarrheal diseases can account for up to 40% of deaths in acute emergency settings

Improved water sources can reduce diarrhea deaths by up to 21%

Haiti: To address cholera, CDC helps ensure trucked and municipal water sources are chlorinated and routinely monitored.

Ethiopia: CDC responded to an outbreak of acute watery diarrhea and helped with the chlorination of drinking water supplies and improvement of water quality monitoring.

Zambia: CDC supports water quality monitoring of emergency tanks put in place as part of a cholera response.

Bangladesh: CDC staff assist in conducting a WASH household survey to assess the status of water treatment methods in Cox’s Bazar refugee camp.
