An Innovative Chlorine Dosing Mechanism for Ceramic Filter Pots to Achieve Complete Household Level Drinking Water Treatment for Low-Income Communities

Household-level water treatment reduces diarrhoeal disease risk by 36% (compared to 17% for water source interventions). Locally-made ceramic water filters are affordable and effective for removing bacteria but not viruses.  An innovative way of dosing ceramic filter pots with chlorine developed by this project will remove the microbial pathogens and reduce diarrhoeal disease.
