The Sustainable Development Goals have set an agenda for transformational change in water access, aiming for secure household connections globally. Despite this goal, communal groundwater supplies are likely to remain the main source of improved water supplies for many rural areas in Africa and South Asia for decades to come. Understanding the poor functionality of existing communal supplies remains, therefore, a priority. A critical first step is to establish a sector-wide definition of borehole supply functionality and a standard method of its assessment.
可持续发展目标设定了一项议程，旨在实现全球家庭安全供水方面的变革性变化。尽管有这一目标，但在未来几十年里，社区地下水供应可能仍将是非洲和南亚许多农村地区改善供水的主要来源。因此，了解现有社区供水功能不佳的情况仍然是当务之急。关键的第一步是建立全行业对钻孔供水功能的定义及其评估标准方法。
