To evaluate the effectiveness of wastewater treatment systems on water quality and disease prevention in urban slums.
Conducted a randomized controlled trial with pre- and post-intervention assessments.
Sampled water from both treated and untreated areas.
Surveyed residents to assess health outcomes.
Analyzed E. coli levels and disease incidence.
Significant improvement in water quality was observed in treated areas (p < 0.05).
E. coli levels decreased by an average of 85% in treated sites.
No significant difference in disease incidence reported between intervention and control groups.
Findings suggest wastewater treatment systems may improve water quality but not conclusively reduce disease.
