dc.description.abstractLack of access to safe water supply and adequate sanitation services is directly linked to the livelihoods and incomes of the urban poor, with impacts on health and ability to earn, thus exacerbating poverty. This study assesses the socio-economic burden of water quality in a poor urban slum (Tripoli, Lebanon) in terms of increased morbidity and premature mortality using various econometric tools. Results indicate need for targeted interventions at the household and slum levels. Based on an economic benefit analysis, this research can be used by stakeholders to justify infrastructure investment and to pressure decision-makers towards the same purpose.en
