Determinants of Household Drinking Water Quality in Rural Ethiopia

Abstract: The CENTER FOR DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH (ZEF) was established in 1995 as an international, interdisciplinary research institute at the University of Bonn. Research and teaching at ZEF address political, economic and ecological development problems. ZEF closely cooperates with national and international partners in research and development organizations. For information, see: www.zef.de. ZEF-Discussion Papers on Development Policy are intended to stimulate discussion among researchers, practitioners and policy make… Show more

“…The present study showed that 21.7% of water sources were contaminated with thermotolerant coliform. The proportion of contaminated water sources was much lower when compared with the result from Fogera and Mecha district of Northwest Ethiopia (73.7%) [8]. This may be due to the reason that all the sources included in this study were improved.…”

“…Different studies in Ethiopia show that the majority of water sources did not fulfill the World Health Organization's criteria for drinking water quality standards in which 20%to 87.5% of water sources were contaminated by fecal indicator bacteria [6][7][8][9]. On the other hand, 58-81% of households drinking water were bacteriologically contaminated [8,10].…”

“…Pre-test and structure interviewer administered questionnaires were used during the data collection. Data on independent variables were collected by using structured pretested Afan Oromo and English version questionnaires (CSA, 2011;Usman et al, 2016). Three grades 10 completed students were recruited as data collectors and trained for two days.…”

“…Contamination of drinking water by waterborne pathogens in piped water distribution systems, at storage facilities and at point of use is the most serious human health risk, causing outbreaks of different diseases. In Ethiopia, 56% of the urban population had access to piped water through centralized water treatment and piped distribution networks but majority of the rural population used untreated water from surface water sources (Usman et al, 2016). But quality of drinking water gets poorer in water distribution systems due to leakage through corrosion of pipes, intrusion of microbial contaminants and other physicochemical pollutants that causes diarrheal and other diseases (Dawit, 2015;Adane et al, 2017).…”
