Framework for drinking water safety in Saint Lucia: a water safety plan approach
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:08 authored by Alexandra McKie, Jeni Colbourne, Jamie Bartram, Brian Clarke, Adrian TheobaldsThe Water Safety Plan approach set out in the WHO Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality is based upon scientific
consensus, best available evidence and broad expert participation. The approach has been successfully tested in urban areas
and building on this knowledge, work is being carried out in rural areas and small islands. This Saint Lucia case-study
is part of work conducted in the Caribbean assessing islands for their status in the WHO safe drinking-water framework
and how it might lead to improved safety. The Water Safety Plan approach is a holistic analysis assessing all aspects of
water safety enabling stakeholders to engage and collaborate with one another potentially resulting in a consensus of
opinion based on knowledge and goal-orientated motivation. The time based action plan resulting from the Water Safety
Plan approach allows for context specific achievable, incremental and sustainable improvements in drinking-water safety
whilst planning for the over-arching goal of a safe drinking-water framework.
