	Safety and quality of water use and reuse in the production and processing of dairy products: meeting report World Health Organisation (WHO) (2023) C_WHO View PDF(41) Download (49) Add to my MEDBOX At its 48th session of Codex Committee on Food Hygiene (CCFH), the Committee noted the importance of water quality and safety in food production and processing. CCFH requested the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to provide guidance for those scenarios where the use of “clean water” (i.e. water that does not compromise the safety of the food in the context of its use) was indicated in Codex texts and on where it is appropriate to use “clean water”. In particular, guidance was sought for the use of irrigation water and “clean” seawater and on the safe reuse of processing water Tags: water usage, quality, dairy production, safe water, WASH, Source: https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/hand

	Sanitation Safety Planning World Health Organization WHO (2022) C_WHO View PDF(1718) Download (1066) Add to my MEDBOX Manual for step-by-step risk management for safely managed sanitation systems. 2nd edition. This Sanitation safety planning (SSP) manual provides practical, step-by-step guidance to assist in the implementation of the 2018 World Health Organization (WHO) Guidelines on sanitation and health and the 2006 WHO Guidelines for safe use of wastewater, excreta and greywater in agriculture and aquaculture. The approach and tools should be applied to all sanitary systems to ensure that they are managed to meet health objectives. The SSP manual is targeted at a variety of users at different levels including; health authorities and regulators, local authorities, sanitation utility managers, sanitation enterprises and farmers, community-based organizations, farmers associations and nongovernmental organizations Tags: WASH, Waste management, Water security, safe water, Source: https://apps.who.int/iris/rest/bitstream
	Oxfam Water Pumping Manual Oxfam (2006) C1 View PDF(1451) Download (774) Add to my MEDBOX This manual is part of a series of guides devised by the Oxfam Public Health Engineering Team to help provide a reliable water supply for populations affected by conflict or natural disaster. The equipment is designed to be used with any or all of the following Oxfam water equipment: Water Pumping equipment, Water Storage equipment, Water Filtration equipment, Water Distribution equipment, Hand-dug Well equipment, and Water Testing Kit. All are designed using available, easily transported equipment which is simple, rapidly assembled, and fully self-contained, to provide an adequate, safe water supply at moderate cost. The principles used in these packages may often be useful in long-term development projects Tags: emergency, Source: https://policy-practice.oxfam.org.uk/pub

	Oxfam Water Storage Manual Oxfam (2006) C1 View PDF(1378) Download (727) Add to my MEDBOX This manual is part of a series of guides devised by the Oxfam Public Health Engineering Team to help provide a reliable water supply for populations affected by conflict or natural disaster. Storage tanks are required for collection of water from springs or water produced from continuous flow water treatment systems, e.g. from upflow clarifiers or slow sand filters. There should be sufficient storage volume to store all water produced overnight, as this is unlikely to be collected by users during the night. Storage tanks also have secondary functions such as ensuring a constant water supply to treatment processes, providing a level of treatment by settlement of larger suspended solids and maintaining pressure in distribution system Tags: emergency, water supply, WASH, humanitarian aid, Storage, Source: https://policy-practice.oxfam.org.uk/pub
	Oxfam Water Distribution Manual Oxfam (2006) CC View PDF(2101) Download (1348) Add to my MEDBOX Oxfam Water Supply Scheme for Emergencies. This manual is part of a series of guides devised by the Oxfam Public Health Engineering Team to help provide a reliable water supply for populations affected by conflict or natural disaster. Wherever possible, water supplies in emergency conditions should be obtained from underground sources by exploitation of springs, tubewells, or dug wells. No filtration will then be needed. However, if sources are not available or cannot be developed, the use of surface water from streams, rivers, lakes or ponds becomes necessary. Usually these surface sources are polluted. The level of faecal contamination can be measured by use of the Oxfam/Delagua Water Test Kit (see Section C). Where a serious level of faecal pollution exists, it is essential firstly to try to reduce the cause of contamination, and secondly to treat the water to make it suitable for human consumption. The Filtration equipment provides a simple, long-term physical and biological treatment system that requires no chemicals (except small amounts of chlorine required during filter cleaning) and needs only simple regular maintenanc Tags: emergency, WASH, water supply, Source: http://www.watersanitationhygiene.org/Re

	Guidelines for drinking-water quality: Fourth edition incorporating the first and second addenda World Health Organization (WHO) (2022) C_WHO View PDF(989) Download (590) Add to my MEDBOX Guidance has been updated on a number of chemicals: asbestos, bentazone, chromium, iodine, manganese, microcystins, nickel, silver, tetrachloroethene and trichloroethene. Guidance has also been added for chemicals not previously assessed in the Guidelines: anatoxin-a and analogues, cylindrospermopsins and saxitoxins. The new guidance on organotins has replaced the prior guidance focused on dialkyltins. With these updates, the guideline values for tetrachloroethene and trichloroethene have been revised while new guideline values for cylindrospermopsins, manganese, microcystins, and saxitoxins have been established . Updated information on cyanobacteria has been included, introducing an alert level framework for early-warning and to guide short-term management responses. Guidance has also been updated in the sections on adequacy of water supply, climate change, emergencies, food production and processing, and radiological aspects, particularly on managing radionuclides when exceeding WHO screening values and guidance levels Tags: clean drinking water, water safety, water quality, water management, water access, drinking water, drinking-water systems, drinking water treatment, contamination, Guidelines, radiation exposure, chemical exposure, Microbial hazards, radiological event, Source: https://apps.who.int/iris/rest/bitstream
