Water quality
“The feedback humans need to survive can best be described as a Water Quality and Quantity Index (WQQI). With the growing scarcity of drinking water worldwide, proactive strategic thinking and planning is necessary. Message: Investing in WATER Centers ensures that the public health and economic benefits for all things related to water is optimized. The WQQI could also be useful in longitudinal and cross-sectional epidemiological studies.” (Kozicki, 2020)
water quantity
“the relation between water scarcity and water management. There are many different perceptions of water scarcity, which can include the conditions of arid environments, a general lack of access to water, insufficient water at a basin scale, or difficulty in meeting competing needs…Asit Biswas reminds us that the root cause of scarcity is the way water is managed.” (Molden 2019)
water equity
“Perhaps this paucity of discourse stems from a false notion that these countries and regions do not currently and will not contend with the further consequences of population growth, urbanization, and anthropogenic and natural climate change. [...] an assumption would be far from the truth10 as emerging empirical literature from these regions confirms.” (Levy Sidel, 2011)
Sanitation
“Diarrhea is among the leading causes of child death in India, claiming more than 300,000 lives (Liu et al., 2012, Parashar et al., 2003) and resulting in economic losses of $13 billion, or 1.5% of gross domestic product (GDP) per year (UNICEF, 2013)...Access to clean drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene can reduce the incidence of non-rotavirus diarrhea in low- and middle-income countries (Arnold and Colford, 2007, Cairncross et al., 2010, Esrey et al., 1985, Fewtrell et al., 2005, Fink et al., 2011).” (Nandi 2017)
