Comparative performance of rural water supplies during drought - dataset (NERC grant NE/R000069/1)
Ethiopia experienced severe drought in 2015-16. Many rural communities experienced declines in the performance of their water supply systems. As a result UNICEF commissioned a real-time monitoring and responsive operation and maintenance programme for point source rural water supplies across Central, Northern and Eastern Ethiopia. The water point monitoring survey was coordinated by UNICEF and conducted by World Vision Ethiopia and Oxfam Ethiopia. Data was collected between January and May 2016. Akvo Flow, a mobile survey tool, was used to collect data using questionnaires which were completed by enumerators and uploaded to central servers in near real time. The dataset includes data on functionality, access, usage and water quantity from 5196 rural water points. UNICEF provided the dataset to BGS. BGS reorganised, cleaned, and conducted quality control and analysis of the dataset. A companion paper has been published with more details of the methodology and results of the monitoring survey, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-14839-3

Akvo Flow, a mobile survey tool, was used to collect the data which was based on questionnaires and completed by enumerators and uploaded to central servers in near real time. Data on functionality, access, usage and quantity was collected from approximately 6000 rural water points over this period. The dataset was provided to BGS by UNICEF. BGS reorganised, cleaned, and conducted quality control and analysis of the dataset. A companion paper has been published, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-14839-3 with more details of the methodology and results of the monitoring survey.
