MSD Fellows issued a Health Impact Assessment of our iJal Stations in Telangana last week. The study highlighted the importance of safe water access, such as iJal water stations, in combating waterborne diseases and improving health and socioeconomic well-being of communities.
Cities continue to be water-stressed due to rapid urbanization, lack of infrastructure, and climate change despite the water being transported over long distances at high costs. Urban stakeholders, both public and private, need a holistic picture of the potential problems, effective solutions and action strategies to make resilient cities that are water positive and sustainable.
In this Field Insight, we highlight our methods to enhance piped water connections in underserved areas. Utilizing partnerships and innovative models like the Optimized Piped Connection (OPC), we’ve notably improved household connection rates, showcasing the model’s potential for achieving financial sustainability and social impact.
