Analyzing Water and Sanitation Systems: A Review of Key Studies_2

INTRODUCTIONWater sanitation refers to the process of cleaning, filtering and purifying the water so itcan be safe for the use. It helps in removing the impurities of the drinking and basic water whichresults to reduce the diseases and infections caused due to impure water (Water and sanitation,2016). Proper and effective sanitation promotes good health by preventing individuals fromvarious hazards related to the wastes. Hazards regarding the improper sanitation can be physical,microbiological, biological, etc. It is essential to have proper sanitation in the countries forpreventing human and animals from various health problems which occurs due to human andanimal excreta, solid wastes, domestic waste water, industrial wastes and agricultural waste(Unicef and World Health Organization, 2014). It is a systematic approach to provide propersanitation facilities to the people so that they can keep their surroundings clean and safe.Improper water sanitation results to harm environment also as it causes various diseases andinfections (Carmichael and et.al., 2013). UK provides quality services and universal access to the public ware supply andsanitation. Access to the pure water supply is universal in UK and due to it 97% of houses areconnected to the sewer network. As per the report of environment agency, in 2007 the overallwater abstraction for the public water supply was 16,406 megalitres per day (Sanitation CountryProfile, 2004). On the other hand, UK government has formed various policies and regulationswith respect to the water supply and sanitation which includes Water Service RegulationAuthority (Walley and Wright, 2010). Similarly environment agency is answerable for theenvironmental regulation and quality of the drinking water. With reference to the watersanitation, European Union (EU) forms drinking water standards and waste water standard.There are various programs and projects run by UK government for the proper sanitation such asMillennium development goal for water. Population of UK gets 100% sustainable access to theimproved sanitation (Cairncross and et.al.,2010). The proposed protocol is based on the systematic review and meta analysis of the watersanitation in UK. Systematic review is collection of multiple information from the varioussources and using them in proper and systematic manner. It will consist of the impact of watersanitation on the life of the individuals and their health, appropriate measures taken bygovernment for maintaining quality of water. Along with it, the study will also include areas for1| P a g e

improving sanitation, projects and programs conducted by UK for improving it and level ofwater sanitation activities used. REVIEW OBJECTIVETo access the published researches properly and systematically in the field of watersanitation in UK. To understanding effective measures taken by government of UK for proper watersanitation. METHODSThe proposed study emphasis on the measures taken by UK government for watersanitation and for meeting the objectives related to it, investigator will conduct systematic reviewwith the help of available researches, articles, etc on water sanitation. For conduction systematicreview, researcher will use some particular articles for meeting the subject of the study whichincludes qualitative study, cohort studies, case studies and many more (Mara and et.al., 2010).The reason behind attending systematic review is its cost effectiveness and in-depth researchwhich will help author in meeting all its objectives for water sanitation in UK. Researcher willuse some methods for gathering appropriate information these are inclusion and exclusioncriteria, systematic review protocols, etc (Bartram and Cairncross, 2010). Article IdentificationAll the above objectives will be achieved with the help of proper and systematicsearching of related information from the various sources. These sources are Medline, GoogleScholar, Science direct, emerald insight, British Nursing index, Biomed central, PubMed andmany more. All theses resources will help in conducting systematic review for the watersanitation in UK. For meeting the objectives, researcher will use some keywords such as watersanitation in UK, policies and regulations, impacts, pure water standard, etc (Wang and Hunter,2010). Databases selected Description PubMedIt is a free search engine which helps inaccessing MEDLINE database on life scienceand bio-medical topics. Simple and general2| P a g e
