This dataset represents the USAID Flood Response Post Intervention Survey conducted in Mulanje during 2019-2020 using the mWater platform. It contains comprehensive water quality assessments and operational data from various water points affected by flooding.

This dataset contains detailed post-intervention monitoring data for rural water points in the Mulanje district of Malawi, collected as part of the USAID Flood Response program during 2019 and 2020. Using the mWater mobile data collection platform, enumerators conducted on-site assessments of water point conditions following flood recovery efforts.
