The purpose of this study is to monitor the present status of water supply and sanitation facilities of primary school in Gaibandha Sadar, Bangladesh. Forty nine (49) primary schools were selected for this purpose. The study revealed that, about 86% school had shallow tube well as a source for their drinking water supply and sanitation. About 18% schools had no sanitation facility or inactive sanitation unit. Separate toilet facility for girls and teachers was found in about 69 and 55% schools respectively but only one school has separate toilet facility for male and female teacher. Availability of water, soap and hand washing facility inside girls and boys latrine is in average amount but in teachers toilet it was satisfactory. Most of the schools (69%) have active drainage system at water point where 41% schools have basket in all classes for dumping of solid wastes. In this regard, the proper management and monitoring of existing facilities are required to improve the present water supply and sanitation situation in primary schools of Bangladesh.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jesnr.v6i1.22050 J.

Advances have occurred in relation to the coverage of water supply and sanitation in Brazil, however inequalities are still observed in relation to the coverage of these services, reflecting the importance of diarrheal disease in the Brazilian epidemiological context. The aim of this study was to measure the impact of the water supply and sanitation system on diarrheal diseases among children aged under five. The global burden of diarrhea was calculated based on the attributable population fraction, using information on prevalence and relative risks from the 2000/2010 censuses and a study by Pruss et al. The north of the State of Minas Gerais, the Northeast and Jequitinhonha regions had the highest disability-adjusted life year (DALY) rates and ratios. The fraction of diarrhea attributable to the water supply and sanitation system was 83%, decreasing to 78.3% where sanitation had 100% coverage. An inverse relationship was found between DALY rates and attributable fractions and per capita GDP. Broadening the scope and coverage of services and improving the quality of water available in homes is an urgent requirement. These measures will bring economic and social benefits related to the reduction of diarrheal diseases and consequent improvement of the quality of life of children aged under five.

Creating an effective system of state regulation in the sphere of water supply and wastewater disposal, which would meet European quality standards, has balanced the interests of consumers, the state and water supply and sewerage enterprises, and requires an adequate scientific support. In this regard, a special role belongs to fundamental research, which will allow to consider government regulation not only from the point of its content, water supply and disposal, but also from other perspectives - as far as it can be described as a social, economic, legal phenomenon and determine practical value for society as a whole.Methodology is a set of subjects and objects, goals and objectives, principles, approaches and functions, criteria and indicators, forms and methods of state regulation. All elements of the state regulation methodology form an organic unity. The methodological guidelines and approaches that significantly affect all components of the state regulation methodology and directly related to public administration are the most crucial components of state regulation. The article is devoted to the methodological approaches study related to the state regulation in the sphere of water supply and wastewater disposal. The author explores the state regulation category, describes it as a social, economic, legal phenomenon and tries to determine its practical value for society as a whole.Special attention is paid to the sphere of centralized water supply and sanitation as a natural monopoly, and the causes of the natural monopoly origin in this sphere have been analyzed. The author explores and analyzes the subjects, object, forms and methods, principles and functions of state regulation in the field of water supply and wastewater disposal. The author also examines rationale for the causes and limits of state intervention in the economic and other processes in the field of water supply and sanitation, as well as the nature, practical value and direction of regulation.In the article, the author draws attention to some inconsistencies in the legislation on state regulation in the sphere of water supply and wastewater disposal, and gives suggestions concerning formation of a unified approach to the definition of natural monopolies, an understanding of the objectives of government regulation and reform, and perspective research.

Nearly half of all children in developing countries have infections or disease associated with inadequate water supply and sanitation. This study aimed at assessing sanitation practices and available sources of water supply in selected primary schools in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, Nigeria. A descriptive cross sectional survey was used in this study. The primary schools and pupils were selected by random sampling. Results revealed that sanitation facilities in the schools were grossly insufficient. Where available, the facilities were overused and poorly maintained. The study also showed that potable water supply in the schools was inadequate. Sachet water was the main source of water supply in the study area. Sanitation facilities in the study area were inadequate and impacted on the sanitation practices of the pupils. The level of awareness towards sanitation education among the pupils was quite high and encouraging. The sanitation practices and potable water supply were generally not satisfactory, putting the pupils at risk of infectious diseases associated with inadequate water supply and sanitation.
