Clean drinking water, one of the basic requirements of a healthy
human population has now become a public health challenge,
threatening the sustainability of social and economic development
across the world. This study is aimed on assessing the level of
awareness about the drinking water safety, identifying the gaps and
educating the residents of a slum area in Chandigarh. A multistage
sampling design was adopted. Three blocks were selected with 90
households from each block through systematic random sampling.
Response rate was 98.8 percent with majority of the respondents in
the age group of 21 - 30. Educating good purification practice
along with its advocacy and mobilizing the community to practice
point-of-use purification methods through health education
workshops and training setups were found essential for curbing the
gaps.
