Water quality testing happens, but results rarely reach the households drinking the water in a form they can act on.
Contamination that nobody is told about produces illness that nobody connects to its cause.
Publish available official water quality results at locality level in plain language, with a clear statement of what each result means for a household.
Aggregate and republish official test results with citation, and support communities to request testing where none exists.
Risk
Misinterpreting a technical result and causing unwarranted alarm.
Mitigation
Publish the official result verbatim alongside the plain-language explanation, and have explanations reviewed by a qualified person.
