Access to water is a critical first step in humanitarian assistance. Examples of WASH projects that are aimed to provide disaster-affected populations with potable water include: water point rehabilitation, water trucking, temporary bladders, and new water point construction. Water treatment at the source, as opposed to household treatment, is also included in this theme.
