The study aims to quantify long-term adoption rates of community-scale water treatment systems and identify factors affecting their performance and sustainability.
Quasi-experimental design comparing villages with and without new treatment systems.
Data collected via sensor logs and technician surveys.
Adoption modeled using logistic regression to assess technical and socio-economic factors.
Cluster-robust standard errors used for inference.
Estimated adoption rate of systems was 58% (95% CI: 52% to 64%).
Performance linked to locally trained maintenance support: 3.2 times more likely to sustain operations.
Water quality compliance increased by 40% with routine monitoring protocols.
