User acceptance: the key to evaluating SODIS and other methods for household water treatment and safe storage

Household water treatment has been identified as one effective strategy to interrupt transmission routes of diarrhoea causing pathogens, and thus to mitigate the global burden of waterborne diseases. And yet, the commitment of governments and international organizations to integrate household water...
