The Sustainable Drinking Water Infrastructure Hub supports governments, utilities, and Tribal authorities in strengthening safe, climate-resilient drinking water infrastructure through equitable, data-driven planning. The Hub provides access to the UNEP-recognized Lead Service Line Replacement Cost Calculator (LSLRCC), a free, multilingual tool that models project costs, informs risk-based investment, and supports compliance with the U.S. EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI) and State Revolving Fund (SRF) programs.

Recognized by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and international sustainability networks, the Hub advances key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including Clean Water and Sanitation (SDG 6), Good Health and Well-Being (SDG 3), Reduced Inequalities (SDG 10), Climate Action (SDG 13), and Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11).

Through the integration of climate-adaptive drinking water infrastructure planning strategies, the Hub supports communities in managing risks from flooding, drought, and extreme weather while fostering resilient, lead-free, and sustainable drinking water systems.

This public resource complements the LSLRCC record already hosted on IHP-WINS, placing it within a broader ecosystem of applied research, policy alignment, and knowledge sharing dedicated to advancing safe, equitable, and risk-informed drinking water management worldwide.

A compilation of secondary surface- and groundwater quality measurements assembled to characterize hydrochemistry, contaminants, isotopes, and bacteriological parameters across the Ethiopian portion of the Lake Turkana basin. This dataset underpins statistical and geospatial analyses to inform sustainable water-resource management.

The dataset covers the Counties of Turkana and Marsabit in northern Kenya. It includes borehole records with some geological and water quality measurements. It is part of the project "HYDROGEOLOGICAL MAPPING OF TURKANA and MARSABIT AQUIFERS" that was carried out by Rural Focus and SWAS WATER SURVEYS. A significant portion of the data that was required for these datasets was collected from various organizations including Oxfam, the Catholic Diocese of Lodwar, JICA, and the WRA of Kenya. The dataset has undergone improvements in accuracy and consistency while being normalized to align with UNESCO's groundwater data collection template.
