What makes a public water point accessible?
Accessibility includes practical distance, safe approach, usable tap or pump height, queuing space, surface conditions, and whether children, older people, and people with disabilities can use the point.
What this means in practice
A central location can still create barriers for some households.
Site design should reduce avoidable lifting, slipping, and congestion.
Photographs can show parts of access, but user feedback and field observation add important information.
How Famidi documents water infrastructure
A Famidi water project moves through location review, local contracting, construction, completion checks, and a public handoff record. Evidence may include agreements, expenses, construction stages, finished taps or pumps, water flow, and a project identifier.
A photograph cannot establish water quality, yield, maintenance performance, or long-term reliability by itself. Those questions require the appropriate technical test, record, or follow-up.
