Water quality monitoring is one of YHF#17900 project objectives under the framework of durable provision, rehabilitation and maintenance of water supplying systems for affected population in Qatabah in Al-Dhale Governorate,
Marib city of Marib Governorate. YFCA Intervention is located in Marib Almadinah, Marib Governorate in which a lot of residents are IDPs and all don’t have enough access to either safe drinking water or domestic water.
Water quality surveillance activity is to assure water quality through conducting regular water testing including PH, Turbidity and Bacteriological analysis to community water sources and random household samples by trained water quality monitors & volunteers (HPVs). Moreover, samples are taken to be regularly tested at households (HHs) level using water multi-hand testing devices (PCTS testers) which were provided to them by YFCA, and samples are taken on a monthly basis from each water community source and being tested at LWC labs. YFCA water quality monitors visited some field areas to conduct the households random sample tests & and recorded the tests results in the HHs water test forms and then investigated whether visited families use or need to use water treatment methods. On the other hand, monthly water tests for community water sources have been conducted on one well till now; Aal Hameed well. Besides, the random HHs level tests and distribution of Aquatabs have begun since August by trained water quality monitors who are required to submit 60 HHs tests a month, 15 samples for each volunteer.
