Abstract: Since the 1960s, WHO has periodically reported on the development of the access to safe drinking-water sources; this is now implemented as a joint programme of work with UNICEF through the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) for Water Supply and Sanitation. In recent reviews and evaluations the need for JMP to progressively address new and emerging priorities has been highlighted. As part of the ongoing plan of work of JMP, a major initiative to more comprehensively take account of water quality issues has been initiated. This handbook has been developed as a resource to support the systematic evaluation of drinking-water quality status at country and local levels. It is hoped that it will be useful to those interested in describing and understanding drinking-water quality status in the context of JMP at national/state levels and on a project basis.
