Rural Drinking Water Project Fails to Ensure Safe Water Quality.
The study looked at the quality of drinking water in Jiajiang County. They tested 288 water samples and found that only 46.2% met the standards. The quality of water was worse in the wet season compared to the dry season. The water had issues with color, clarity, iron, bacteria, and disinfectant levels. While the project improved water access for rural areas, it didn't completely ensure safe drinking water for everyone.
