Test key assumptions. DRWS provided hygiene and sanitation training to communities to encourage good hygiene behaviors and provide information about the new sanitation facilities. While the household survey investigated hygiene behaviors, the evaluation did not test water samples to assess the quality at the point of source or point of consumption. As such, we are not able to test the critical assumptions that the new water sources do in fact result in increased consumption of higher quality water and that households are not inadvertently contaminating water after collecting it.
