Universal access to clean and safe drinking water is essential for life maintenance since exposure to poor quality water is harmful to health. Drinking water quality is part of public health actions and, together with sanitation, a human right essential for life and a sustainable development goal. Moreover, an independent surveillance system conducted by the Ministry of Health or government agencies is needed for the safety of drinking water quality. We propose a scoping review protocol to identify and map worldwide surveillance actions and initiatives of drinking water quality implemented by government agencies or public health services. This scoping review protocol is based on the Joanna Briggs Institute manual and guided by the PRISMA-ScR. Articles, theses, dissertations, and official documents consulted in the following databases will be included: Medline/PubMed, Scopus, LILACS, Web of Science, Embase, Engineering Village, and gray literature. No date limit or language will be determined. The authors will develop a worksheet for data extraction. Quantitative (simple descriptive statistics) and qualitative data (thematic analysis) will be analyzed. The final scoping review will present the main findings, impacts, challenges, limitations, and possible research gaps related to surveillance of drinking water quality on population health.
普及清洁安全饮用水是维持生命的必要条件，因为接触劣质水会对健康造成危害。饮用水质量是公共卫生行动的一部分，与卫生设施一起，是生命所必需的一项人权，也是可持续发展目标的一部分。此外，需要由卫生部或政府机构开展独立的饮用水质量安全监督系统。我们提出了一个范围综述方案，以确定和绘制全球范围内政府机构或公共卫生服务实施的饮用水质量监督行动和倡议。该范围综述方案基于乔安娜·布里格斯研究所手册，并遵循 PRISMA-ScR 指南。将在以下数据库中查阅文章、论文、学位论文和官方文件：Medline/PubMed、Scopus、LILACS、Web of Science、Embase、Engineering Village 和灰色文献。不设定日期限制或语言限制。作者将制定一个数据提取工作表。将对定量数据（简单描述性统计）和定性数据（主题分析）进行分析。最终的范围综述将介绍与人口健康相关的饮用水质量监督的主要发现、影响、挑战、局限性和可能存在的研究空白。
