Tap Water Safety

Estimated share of the population with safe tap-water or household drinking-water access. Primary source is WHO/UNICEF JMP via World Bank WDI safely managed drinking water services (SH.H2O.SMDW.ZS), supplemented by at least basic drinking water services (SH.H2O.BASW.ZS). Higher values are better and the score equals the raw percentage.

How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is the estimated share of the population with safe tap-water or household drinking-water access. It is shown as a percentage from 0 to 100. Higher values are better; the score equals the raw value.

The main direct anchor is the WHO/UNICEF JMP value for safely managed drinking water services. This requires an improved drinking-water source that is accessible on premises, available when needed and free from faecal and priority chemical contamination.

Where both safely managed and at least basic drinking-water services are available in the World Bank/JMP series, Nomadino uses 85% safely managed drinking water and 15% at least basic drinking water. The second component prevents countries with broad basic access from being over-penalised when parts of the stricter series are incomplete.

Where the direct safely managed value is missing, basic drinking-water access is not treated as automatically drinkable tap water. It is used only as a plausibility anchor for a maintained Nomadino replacement value, together with regional comparators, administering states for small territories, known regulatory structures and WHO drinking-water quality guidelines.

This indicator does not rate an individual hotel, city district or current travel advisory. It describes the national everyday usability of tap and household drinking water for the population. Local building pipes, private wells, temporary outbreaks, natural disasters, taste, hardness and individual sensitivity are not fully captured.
