Tools

This document is a field guide for practitioners and researchers (Spanish version) to assess the climate resilience of drinking water supplies using the How Tough is WASH framework. It provides guidance on collecting data using a mixed-methods approach to score each of the six indicators in the framework. While we suggest a range of tools to support assessments, teams are encouraged to rely on their judgement and local knowledge to assess resilience.

Securing Public Health Benefits

Our work on securing public health benefits includes research to understand how safety of services can be improved. We are working on a project to understand how to increase uptake of water safety plans in the Western Pacific region and on the ongoing Lancet Commission on WASH. We have also worked with the South African Medical Research Council to look at climate factors influencing hospitalisations from pneumonia. Under our How tough is WASH? project we aim to undertake some further health risk modelling. Papers on these issues include:

Access to services

Our work on increasing access to services includes understanding how the mix of on-grid and off-grid services can be optimised to support improving access and quality of services. Our work on climate change and on securing health benefits are contributing to thinking about how we can ensure services can be improved and made more accessible for poor people. Papers on these issues include:
