Appropriate technology – A comprehensive approach for water and sanitation in the developing world
TL;DR: Appropriate technologies (AT) are only a fraction of the solution in achieving sustainable and safe access to water and sanitation worldwide as mentioned in this paper, and traditional engineering approaches need to be augmented with more flexible trial and error techniques, user participation, and multi-disciplinary collaborative learning in order to create innovative solutions and empower impoverished communities to achieve their own development goals.

TL;DR: A technical review of factors that can lead to false-positive and -negative errors in the surveillance of SARS-CoV-2, culminating in recommendations and strategies that can be implemented to identify and mitigate these errors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review: Epidemiological evidence of groundwater contribution to global enteric disease, 1948–2015
TL;DR: A review of published literature providing epidemiological evidence of the contribution of groundwater to global human enteric infection is presented in this paper, with an emphasis on enteric pathogens transmitted via the faecal-oral route, and specifically those associated with acute gastrointestinal illness (AGI).
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating the burden of acute gastrointestinal illness due to Giardia, Cryptosporidium, Campylobacter, E. coli O157 and norovirus associated with private wells and small water systems in Canada.
TL;DR: This research supports the use of QMRA as an effective source attribution tool when there is a lack of randomized controlled trial data to evaluate the public health risk of an exposure source and provides a framework for others to develop burden of waterborne illness estimates for small water supplies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequential UV- and chlorine-based disinfection to mitigate Escherichia coli in drinking water biofilms
TL;DR: Improved understanding of the ability of chlorine-based disinfectant in combination with UV to provide sufficient disinfection will ultimately effect in improved management and safety of drinking water.
