Drinking Water and Sanitation
While more than half of the population has access to improved drinking water, there are still communities that lack access to improved water sources. A larger portion of the rural population lacks improved water access. (6.3% of the rural population was estimated to be using unimproved water vs. 0.5% of urban population in 2012).[1]
However, these estimates do not account for the fact that many well-constructed wells are shallow and can often be contaminated by agricultural runoff. A 2008 World Bank report stated that the poor quality of drinking water is a factor witch [sic] determines up to 20-25% of acute diarrheic diseases and viral hepatitis A (especially in rural zones) and 15-20% of somatic diseases reported in the country. [2]
A larger portion of the population has access to improved drinking water than improved sanitation (96.5 vs. 86.7).13.3% of the population does not have access to improved sanitation facilities (which include flush or pour-flush toilets connected to a piped sewer system, septic tank or pit latrine; ventilated improved pit (VIP) latrine; pit latrine with slab; or composting toilet) (2012 estimate).[1]
