This dataset is from the USAID Flood Response Rehabilitation and Chlorination Survey, conducted between 2019 - 2020, to assess and rehabilitate flood-affected boreholes in Malawi. Using the mWater, data collectors captured detailed information on the condition of handpumps, their components, water safety risks, and the impact of chlorination and repairs. The survey was part of an emergency response initiative to restore access to safe drinking water following flood events.
