| dc.description.abstract | Water is essential for human to survive in life and having access to safe drinking water is a basichuman right. However, significant number of population in developing countries especially in ruralareas still drink fecally contaminated water. Similarly in Ethiopia one point water supplies are majorsource of drinking water in rural areas and small community(MoWIE 2015).Thus the developmentof water safety plans for small systems should focus on the control of microbial quality of drinking water in particular fecal contamination.The objective of the study was to assess Water Safety Plans Managing Drinking water quality forrural community, Dire Tiyyara District, Eastern Ethiopia September, 2020.A cross-sectional study design was conducted among 180 households in rural community, DireTiyyara District, Eastern Ethiopia. A total of 192 Water samples (12 from different source and 180from HH) were collected and analyzed by membrane filtration method to identify faecalcontamination. In addition sanitary survey was conducted at water source and point of use. In FurtherCombined result of microbiological and sanitary survey was used to prioritize public health risk forintervention. Statistical analysis was performed using Poison regression to assess the associationbetween outcome variable and independent variable. Odd Ratios along with 95% Confidenceintervals were estimated to measure the strength of the association and identify associationbacteriological quality and water treatment, handling and storage, and latrine availability, use andoperation at household level/point of useOut of 12 sources eleven (11) water sources were found to have fecal contamination. In additionlevel of contamination in one source was very high, and has a major public health impact and needurgent intervention. On the other hand, the average Colony count of TTC of sample (CFU/100ml) atpoint of use had shown increment at every point from catchment to point of use. Thus, out of thesamples analyzed at point of use 91.2% had fecal coliform above permissible level (0 CFU/100ml)for drinking water. Out of this 54.7% of the water sample from point of use had major public healthimpact and it is clearly priority and need urgent intervention. Furthermore Samples from HH whouse water treatment found to be 2 times likely to be contaminated [AOR=1.99; 95% CI (1.89,2.07)]. Similarly HH with low sanitary risk of water handling and storage were 8.89 less likely to becontaminated compared to household with very high risk [AOR=8.89; 95%CI (8.19, 9.86)] andhousehold with very high sanitary risk of latrine availability, use and operation were 3.86 morelikely to be contaminated than low risk [AOR=3.86; 95%CI (3.45, 4.32)].The study showed fecal contamination of drinking water in rural community of Dirre Tiyyara wassignificant. As a result, an intervention focusing on improving the quality of drinking should be taken. | en_US |
