Water Sources
Description of the Topic
Water Sources consists of 13 different types of water sources which are found in many countries in Africa. The cards are used to help prompt participants to discuss some of the health challenges they may face if they use water from an unprotected source.
How to use Card set 7.a. ‘Water Sources’
This set can be used in three ways:
- A participant holds up the card to the audience and describes the water source and if it is safe to use for drinking.
- They can be used to rank safety of different technologies from unsafe to safe,
- It can be used in formative research to help project managers make some assessment to be made as to who uses what type of water source.
- The cards can be used to find out if people know which of the ‘Common Diseases’ (card set 2.a.) are caused by unsafe water.
