<div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Household Water Treatment and Storage (HWTS) products provides households that are</span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">drinking unimproved water supplies with a first line of defense against contaminants in their drinking water and those drinking improved water supplies with an additional barrier against potential risks. With the global water crisis becoming more and more severe, evaluation of HWTS technologies and products has become crucial to ensure they are used to remove impurities effectively. The goal of this thesis was to evaluate household water filters in the Indian marketplace as part of a larger research and technology evaluation to investigate the utilization and performances of different water filter models in both lab and field settings. This was achieved by comparative testing and research work done at Consumer Reports (CR) Headquarters in Yonkers, NY. </span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;"> </span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">This evaluation included the testing of three categories of filters: Conventional Particle Removal (cloth and mesh), Gravity Non-Electric (

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. · Source: award and document years
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
Who started the program, and which administration it began under. Timing only; it does not say who started it. · Source: initiative records, start year
Began during the Barack Obama administration (2009–2017). Based on its first award year, 2012. This places the program in time only; it does not mean that administration started it.
