A systematic review analyzing the relationship between drinking water accessibility and the quantity of water available to households in low and middle-income countries. The authors investigated studies examining how factors like distance and collection time to water sources impact the amount of water collected or consumed. While many studies suggested an inverse relationship, meaning closer access leads to more water, the review highlights the inconsistency in measurement indicators and methodologies, making it challenging to draw definitive conclusions. The paper emphasizes the need for more robust and consistent research to better understand this complex relationship and inform effective water supply interventions.
