Water point mapping

Water Point Mapping (WPM) is a tool for monitoring the distribution and status of water supplies. It collects data about different aspects related to the water facility and overlays this point data with information about population and administrative boundaries. WPM helps to visualize the spatial distribution of water supply coverage and can thereby be used to highlight equity issues. The information collected provides insights into schemes' sustainability levels and management-related aspects of water points.Improved community WP densityFunctional community WP densityYear-round functional community WP densityBacteriological acceptable WP densityBacteriological acceptable and year-round functional WP densityNo. of improved community WPs per 1,000 inhabitantsNo. of functional Improved Community Water Points per 1,000 inhabitants No. of Improved Community Water Points working at least 11 months per year, per 1,000 inhabitantsNo. of functional Improved Community Water Points with an acceptable number of coliforms, per 1,000 inhabitantsNo. of Improved Community Water Points working at least 11 months per year and with an acceptable number of coliforms, per 1,000 inhabitants Water Point Mapping (WPM) is a tool for monitoring the distribution and status of water supplies.
