This document proposes a water quality sampling and analysis strategy to be implemented within the VEA water safety framework. The WSP steps of water quality monitoring and verification are integrated as presented in the WHO ‘’Guidelines for drinking-water quality” (2011) and “Water Safety Planning for Small Community Water Supplies” (2012). Therefore, it is important that this document is read in tandem with the UNICEF commissioned technical study ‘Water Safety Plans for Village Assainis’.
