Thanks for your reply. Do you know if bottled water gets flown in by NGO's. If so is it sourced locally or is there a reserve that is used in times of need.

Do you mind if I ask you if you are on the ground in a disaster situation or post disaster. 

I'm researching the spread of diarrhoea due to lack of hand washing and wonder how fast contamination can spread. I imagine its quite quickly but its hard to find the data.

A very general answer : " Water supply of refugee centres is crucial. As far as natural or man-made disasters (conflicts) are concerned the immediate availability of water is a matter of survival. The current norm for human water needs amounts to 20 liters per person per day. Sometimes water is available through the presence of a nearby river; sometimes water is totally lacking and so it has to be pumped to the surface or be transported over great distances. Once the water is on site it still has to be purified for human consumption and so purification, controlled storage and distribution are necessities. "

I found this on : www.hdbf.org/?page_id=26&lang=en 

In Mangaize (pictures on the group page) in Niger, they first had those black tanks. Then they made their first drill hole.
