Water Supply Sanitation
Approved type of water facilities
Level 1 (Point Source)
a protected well or a developed spring with an outlet but without a distribution system
indicated for rural areas serves 15-25 households; its outreach is not more
than 250 m from the farthest user yields 40-140 L/ min
![Page 9: 78633822 Environmental Health and Sanitation Ppt](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033007/55cf905e550346703ba54ba7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Level II (Communal Faucet or Stand Posts)
With a source, reservoir, piped distribution network and communal faucets
Located at not more than 25 m from the farthest house
Delivers 40-80 L of water per capital per day to an average of 100 households
Fit for rural areas where houses are densely clustered
![Page 10: 78633822 Environmental Health and Sanitation Ppt](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033007/55cf905e550346703ba54ba7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Level III (Individual House Connections or Waterworks System)
With a source, reservoir, piped distributor network and household taps

![Page 11: 78633822 Environmental Health and Sanitation Ppt](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033007/55cf905e550346703ba54ba7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Proper Excreta and Sewage Disposal Level I Non-water carriage toilet facility – no water necessary to wash the
waste into receiving space e.g. pit latrines, reed odorless earth closet.
Toilet facilities requiring small amount of water to wash the waste into the receiving space e.g. pour flush toilet & aqua privies
Level II On site toilet facilities of the water carriage type with water-sealed
and flush type with septic vault/tank disposal.
Level III Water carriage types of toilet facilities connected to septic tanks
and/or to sewerage system to treatment plant.

![Page 18: 78633822 Environmental Health and Sanitation Ppt](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033007/55cf905e550346703ba54ba7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
2. In children under the age of five, one third of all disease is caused by the environmental factors such as unsafe water and air pollution.

7. In developed countries, healthier environments could significantly reduce the incidence of cancers, cardiovascular diseases, asthma, lower respiratory infections, musculoskeletal diseases, road traffic injuries, poisonings, and drownings.

9. Much of this death, illness and disability could be prevented through well targeted interventions such as promoting safe household water storage, better hygiene measures and the use of cleaner and safer fuels.
