residents in squatter settlements around Kuala Lumpur. The results showed that piped water from the
public stand-pipes was used primarily Jar drinking and cooking purposes but water from other

evaluation of the methods used Jar the collection and storage of water other than piped water,
indicated that the system can be further improved to yield good quality water by adoption of appropriate
technologies for household water treatment. |
