Manage episode 479638318 series 3661177
This research paper, titled "Challenges of Water Quality and Accessibility in Low- and Middle-Income Countries" by Hichul Chung, introduces a data-driven framework to classify countries based on drinking water access and quality. Using data from 77 countries, the study identifies three distinct groups, or typologies, that reveal different patterns of water accessibility and quality beyond traditional geographic categories. A decision tree analysis highlights that access to piped water and protected wells are major factors influencing water quality rankings. The findings aim to guide policymakers and researchers in improving water access and quality across the Global South.
