背景:不安全的饮用水会导致腹泻病和环境性肠病。水的质量取决于它的物理性质,化学,和生物学特征。水源对家庭成员的健康有重大影响,尤其是儿童。为了解决这个问题,印度致力于提供家用水龙头连接,以确保JalJeevan特派团提供安全的饮用水。\"
目的:本研究旨在评估埃塔瓦地区城市和农村地区获得安全饮用水的情况以及水的物理和化学质量(定性),印度。
方法:于2020年1月至2021年12月在Etawah地区进行了一项横断面研究。研究对象是家庭中最年长的女性。总共包括312名女性。收集的数据使用IBMSPSSStatisticsforWindows进行分析,版本25(2017年发布;IBMCorp.,Armonk,纽约,美国)进行描述性分析。
结果:在本研究中,76.3%(238/312)的城市和农村地区的家庭可以获得安全的饮用水(这里,“安全”一词的含义是基于其操作定义)。农村地区共有130户(83.3%)家庭,城市地区只有21户(13.5%)以私人供水为主要水源。水的物理和化学质量在所有研究区域的要求(可接受的限度)和允许的限度内,所以水被认为是安全的。
结论:这项研究报告,根据操作定义,76.3%(238)的家庭可以获得安全的饮用水。公共饮用水的主要来源是公共供应的自来水,在私人来源中,潜水或钻孔是最常见的。
BACKGROUND: Unsafe drinking water causes diarrheal disease and environmental enteropathy. The quality of water is determined by its physical, chemical, and biological characteristics. Water sources have a significant impact on household members\' health, particularly children. To combat this, India is committed to providing household tap connections to ensure the delivery of safe drinking water with the \"Jal Jeevan Mission.\"
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to estimate the access to safe drinking water and the physical and chemical qualities of water (qualitatively) in the urban and rural areas of Etawah district, India.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Etawah district from January 2020 to December 2021. The study subjects were the eldest female of the family. A total of 312 females were included. The data collected were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 25 (released 2017; IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, United States) for descriptive analysis.
RESULTS: In the present study, 76.3% (238/312) of households in the urban and rural areas had access to safe drinking water (here, the meaning of the word \"safe\" is based on its operational definition). A total of 130 (83.3%) households in rural areas and only 21 (13.5%) in urban areas had private supply as the primary water source. The physical and chemical qualities of water were within the requirement (acceptable limit) and permissible limit in all the study areas, so the water is considered safe for drinking.
CONCLUSIONS: This study reported that 76.3% (238) households had access to safe drinking water according to the operational definition. The major public source of drinking water was public-supplied tap water, and in private sources, submersible or boreholes were the most common.
