Closing the gap: action research on CISUR interventions in emergency response

In this project we:

• conducted three mixed-methods, multi-country evaluations of water trucking in humanitarian responses;
• developed methods, and conducted large- and small-scale laboratory studies on how to clean jerricans, containers, and taps (water storage containers) to prevent biofilm development or remove biofilms;
• developed a protocol to determine the most appropriate chlorine tablet for a particular emergency context.

The project provided key information on efficacy, effectiveness, and guidance for bucket chlorination, water trucking, jerrican cleaning, and chlorine tablet selection.
