Multiple water source use in low- and middle-income countries: a systematic review
The Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) 2017 Update and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Baselines report classified 71% of the global population as having access to ‘safely managed’ drinking water. Current global monitoring efforts to track access to safely managed drinking water rely on collectin...

HIGHLIGHTS
Multiple water source use has been identified in 43 countries and 4 continents, and in urban and rural areas.;
Many households reported supplementing improved water sources with unimproved water throughout the year.;
Current water access monitoring methods focus on a household's primary water source. Global estimates likely overestimate the proportion of the population using basic and safely managed drinking water sources.; |
