The top water science and engineering journal Water Research has just published a paper led by Syed Imran Ali, Dahdaleh Institute Research Fellow, with contributions from Syed Saad Ali (DIGHR) and Jean-Francois Fesselet from Médecins sans Frontières (MSF). The paper investigates post-distribution chlorine decay and household water safety ingee camps in South Sudan, Jordan, and Rwanda with the goal of demonstrating an approach for generating site-specific and evidence-based chlorination targets that better ensure household water safety and better protect public health during emergencies.Â
This paper is the first engineering research to model post-distribution chlorine decay, and has implications for public health protection wherever people must store and use water for many hours after it leaves the tap -- like in refugee camps during humanitarian emergencies or intermittent water systems in LMICs. The modelling approach developed in the paper forms part of the basis for the .
The paper is available open access thanks to generous support from the Humanitarian Innovation Fund/Elrha.
