Taking drinking water
Description of the Topic
‘Utilisation of Drinking Water’ provides 17 illustrations which reflect many common ways in which drinking water is consumed in many parts of Africa. The cards are used to help prompt participants to discuss some of the health challenges they may face, if they do not take care when drinking water.
How to use Card set 8.b. ‘Utilisation of Drinking Water’
This set can be used in three ways:
- A participant holds up the card to the audience and describes what she thinks is right or wrong with the way the person is drinking water.
- The cards can be used in conjunction with the card set 2.a. on Common Disease to test out people’s knowledge of which diseases can be prevented by ensuring drinking water is safe to consume.
- This card set can be used together with 7.a. ‘Water Sources’ and 8.a. ‘Storage of Drinking Water’ to show how all three stages of water consumption must be hygienic if water is to be safe to drink.
