文摘

Safe water access is an important component of integrated schistosomiasis control. Defining access indicators at local scales can aid in targeted resource allocation. Water source functionality significantly reduces access indicator values. Surface water access is negatively correlated with improved water access. Correlation is modified by groundwater quality and payment for improved water.
