The meanings of water: Socio-Cultural perceptions of solar disinfected (SODIS) drinking water in Bolivia and implications for its uptake

Nuño Martínez, N; Muela Ribera, J.; Hausmann-Muela, S.; Cevallos, M.; Hartinger Peña, Stella Maria; Christen, A.; Mäusezahl, D. (MDPI, 2020)

Solar disinfection (SODIS) of drinking water is a cost-effective household water treatment (HWT) method. Despite its simplicity of use, evidence suggest that SODIS water uptake remains lower than implementers planned. In ...
