"What is being measured is basically the type of improved technology that people are supposed to be accessing like a hand-pump or a tap in the house. What's not being measured is whether it works, the quality, how far people have to walk to get to that water." IRC's Patrick Moriarty was one of the members in Al Jazeera's Inside Story on water and sanitation, broadcasted on 8 March 2012.
