| Abstract | This booklet is based upon information contained in the UNICEF report "Water, environment and sanitation: a knowledge attitudes and practice study in rural India, 1988-1989". The results of the study, which covered more than 7900 individuals in villages in 22 districts in 8 Indian states, are summarized. The booklet describes where people get water from, how they collect, store, and use water, what they believe about water, their responsability for maintenance, willingness to pay, women's involvement, people's perception of cleanliness, personal hygiene, household hygiene, household waste, human waste, latrines, and the reach of the different media. After each topic some emerging implications are given. |
