Abstract
Malawi has resolved to respond positively to the goals of the International Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Decade (1981-1990). The government's objective is to provide safe water to rural communities through an active community participation and hygiene education program. A Health Education Sanitation Promotion (HESP) Program was introduced in 1983. The performance of this program could be improved through a better understanding of water use patterns in rural areas and determination of the bacteriological quality of water used for domestic purposes. It is particularly important to determine what, if any, deterioration occurs between the water supply source and consumption in the home. This study will provide this information to help improve the HESP program.
