Factors supporting the sustained use of solar water disinfection: Experiences from a global promotion and dissemination programme

摘要: Abstract Every year, 1.8 million people, mainly children under the age of five, die diarrhoea. Point-of-use water treatment methods, such as solar disinfection (SODIS), reveal a great potential to reduce global diarrhoea burden.

Since year 2000, is being promoted developing countries through information and awareness campaigns, training advising public sector (government institutions), networking activities, well user at grassroot level. The method currently used 33 by more than 2 people. Several project evaluations health impact studies that incidence users has dropped 16–57%. One after implementation, 20–80%of trained people on regular basis. This paper looks into factors influencing acceptance sustained use level, i.e. local availability bottles, repeated promotion programmes, motivation commitment promoters, educational level users, social pressure, institutional aspects.
