Water remains the most important factor since it is
both important and urgent. It is also a viable option for
a village project proposal.
Draining was ranked as the third most important
environmental health factor by the community. The
villagers said that even with access to clean water, if
there is inadequate draining it will only be a matter of
time before the water becomes contaminated. Supul
village has already begun building separate water tap
and sinks adjacent to each house with positive effect
of reducing the risk and spread of contamination.
However, this process of building taps and sinks has
not yet been socialized to the furthest househoulds.
Toilets and sanitation were recognized as an important
and urgent issue. However, at this stage most of the
houses in the village already had a permanent or semipermanent toilet structure. Furthermore this was
perceived as an individual rather than a communal
issue.
While most thought that rubbish management was
important. The majority also believed that this was an
issue which could wait, it was not the most urgent.
