About this study

A project to assess the water quality in Ciudad Victoria, Mexico and the effectiveness of different Sawyer PointOne Filter types (Bucket, Tap, Squeeze) . The project is designed to 1) assess the impact of filters on health and well-being of families, 2) assess the impact of filters on the economic status of families and 3) compare different filter formats for use/adoption on the above metrics. The project will provide information about how well the different filters are working in urban households in a middle-income Latin American country, make recommendations for future deployment of filter types in similar settings, and determine the potential for scaling the use of filter systems to provide clean drinking water for people in need in future projects.
