Household Water Insecurity Experiences (HWISE) Scale
A cross-culturally validated scale to measure water insecurity at the household level
MANY FAMILIES DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO SAFE WATER IN SUFFICIENT QUANTITIES
Water (in)security is a complex, multifaceted topic. Each year, 4 billion people experience severe water scarcity for at least 1 month of the year. This issue is compounded by the fact that, worldwide, 663 million people lack access to an improved water source (and are at high risk for drinking contaminated water). In an effort to better understand the underpinnings of this highly prevalent problem, our research team has developed a working definition of water security that seeks to capture the multi-dimensional aspects of water and its use. Water insecurity is when any dimension (quality, quantity, availability, accessibility) is not achieved.
