in-depth review of the complexities surrounding drinking water access and quality in urban slums, emphasizing that these factors are not static but fluctuate significantly over various timescales. It highlights how current global monitoring initiatives, like those for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), often overlook these temporal dynamics, leading to an incomplete picture of the challenges faced by roughly a billion people. The paper proposes that future research and policy interventions must account for short, medium, and long-term changes in water availability, reliability, affordability, and quality, as well as socio-cultural influences, to effectively address health risks in these vulnerable communities. Ultimately, it advocates for more nuanced, temporally-focused water monitoring to better inform strategies for improving water access and public health in slums.
