Data from the USAID Flood Response Rehabilitation and Chlorination Survey conducted in Mulanje, Malawi (2019–2020) # USAID Flood Response Rehabilitation and Chlorination Survey This dataset originates from the USAID Flood Response Rehabilitation and Chlorination Survey, conducted between 2019 and 2020 in Mulanje District, Malawi. The data was collected using the mWater mobile platform by field teams working to assess, rehabilitate, and chlorinate rural handpump-equipped water points affected by flooding. The dataset includes detailed records on: - Borehole component condition before and after rehabilitation - Chlorination activities - Community mobilization - Environmental risks near water points - Functionality status and water access metrics post-rehabilitation Photos and GPS coordinates are embedded via cloud-linked URLs to provide visual and spatial evidence of the rehabilitation process. **Potential Use Cases** 1. WASH Program Monitoring and Evaluation - Track the impact of rehabilitation efforts on water point functionality. - Monitor the effectiveness of chlorination in flood-prone regions. 2. Infrastructure Asset Management - Identify components frequently requiring replacement. - Schedule preventive maintenance and prioritize resources. 3. Disaster Response Planning - Map flood-affected water infrastructure and assess repair timelines. - Use historical damage and repair data to prepare for future climate shocks. 4. Public Health Risk Assessment - Analyze the relationship between water source integrity and contamination risks (e.g., proximity to latrines or cemeteries). 5. Policy and Program Design - Guide government and donor decisions on where and how to invest in resilient rural water systems. 6. Training and Capacity Building - Use the data and photos as case studies for training technicians or water committees. Potential Users of this data 1. Government agencies (e.g., Ministry of Water, District Water Offices) 2. NGOs and implementing partners involved in WASH and emergency response 3. Donor agencies such as USAID, to assess …
