Households in developing countries frequently use multiple water sources for various daily needs, a practice often overlooked by global water and sanitation (WaSH) initiatives that typically focus on a single "main drinking water source." The authors argue that this narrow focus leads to an incomplete understanding of water access, use, and associated risks, hindering effective intervention design. They advocate for integrating the concept of multiple water source use (MWSU) into research, monitoring, and implementation strategies to better address health outcomes, economic development, and climate resilience. The text highlights how understanding MWSU is crucial for designing appropriate and effective water supply projects that align with real-world household behaviors and seasonal variations in water availability.
