This technical note provides guidance on managing lead contamination in drinking water systems, both manual pumps and piped systems. It is intended for water suppliers and health authorities in resource-limited settings, with some sections also relevant to other stakeholders in water quality management. The document outlines measures to take when elevated lead levels are detected, including increased monitoring and corrective actions to reduce lead content. It also highlights health risks associated with lead exposure, emphasizing the need for preventive approaches and compliance with national drinking water quality standards. The note discusses the sources of lead in drinking water, such as leaching from plumbing materials, and stresses the importance of using low-lead or lead-free components in new or rehabilitated systems. Coordination among water suppliers, health authorities, and public health organizations is crucial to address the public health implications of lead in drinking water. The guidance aims to minimize lead exposure and protect vulnerable groups, including infants, children, and pregnant women.

This publication by the World Health Organization provides comprehensive guidance for developing water quality regulations and standards with a focus on countries with limited resources. It aims to assist national and subnational bodies in creating and enforcing regulations for drinking water quality. The book outlines key principles, the necessity for adaptation of standards, and the processes involved in reviewing and updating current regulations. It also covers the parameters for water quality, including chemical, radiological, and microbiological limits, and discusses the monitoring of compliance and protocols for incident management. The intended audience includes policymakers, regulatory bodies, and health professionals involved in water safety and quality management.

The government of Bangladesh's (GoB) Delta Plan 2100 (BDP 2100) disaggregates Bangladesh's 64 districts into six ecological zones based on hydrological characteristics and climate risks and deems 58 districts to be "extremely vulnerable" to the effects of climate change. The heterogeneity in the water crisis across the different hotspots presents unique health challenges. This paper summarizes the effects of altered quantity and quality of water on human health for each of the ecological zones and provides recommendations based on the findings. Climate change continues to deteriorate the quality and quantity of water in Bangladesh and is one of the leading causes of morbidity and death. The consequences are particularly pronounced for pregnant women and children. There are substantial regional variations in the effects on health, driven by the country's topological attributes, such as groundwater depletion in the Barind and drought-prone areas and salinity in drinking water in the coastal regions. To address these challenges, it is imperative for agencies such as the Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR) and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) to build research capacity and upscale comprehensive disease surveillance systems to monitor trends in existing and emerging communicable and noncommunicable diseases, and to rigorously evaluate the efficacy of disease prevention and control programs. A set of zone-specific health policies and actions needs to be formulated under the aegis of the MoHFW in collaboration with relevant GoB stakeholders such as the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics, academics, practitioners, and policy makers, underpinned by credible evidence.

This publication by the World Health Organization provides a comprehensive overview of national regulations and standards for drinking-water quality worldwide. It serves as a crucial reference for water and health regulators, policymakers, and advisors involved in developing national standards. The book discusses the Guidelines for Drinking-Water Quality (GDWQ), which include assessments of health risks from microbial, chemical, radiological, and physical contaminants in drinking water. It also covers the establishment of maximum concentration guideline values for hazardous constituents. The report includes information from 125 countries, offering insights into the values specified in national drinking-water quality standards for various parameters. This resource is intended to aid in the comparison and revision of national drinking-water quality standards, although it does not provide specific guidance on parameter selection. The book is targeted at regulators and stakeholders in the water quality sector.
