# Malawi Emergency Flood Response Water Point Survey (2019–2020)
This dataset contains water point assessment data collected during an
emergency flood response in Malawi between 2019 and 2020. The survey was
conducted under the BASEflow program to evaluate the status,
functionality, and safety of water points affected by flooding events.
Data collection and subsequent data cleaning were conducted using the
mWater platform. The dataset includes geospatial coordinates,
functionality status, user population estimates, reported mechanical and
structural issues, pumping performance metrics, sediment observations,
and field-based water quality test information.
The survey covered the following districts in Malawi:
- Zomba
- Mangochi
- Chikwawa
- Balaka
- Nsanje
- Blantyre
- Machinga
The primary purpose of this dataset is to support emergency response
planning, infrastructure rehabilitation prioritization, and monitoring
of rural water supply systems in flood-affected areas.
This dataset can be used for:
1. Humanitarian WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) response analysis
2. Geospatial mapping of water point functionality
3. Infrastructure vulnerability assessments
4. Evidence-based resource allocation during disaster recovery
