Understanding handpump sustainability: Determinants of rural water source functionality in the<scp>G</scp>reater<scp>A</scp>fram<scp>P</scp>lains region of<scp>G</scp>hana
Safe drinking water is critical to human health and development. In rural sub-Saharan Africa, most improved water sources are boreholes with handpumps; studies suggest that up to one third of these handpumps are nonfunctional at any given time. This work presents findings from a secondary analysis of cross-sectional data from 1509 water sources in 570 communities in the rural Greater Afram Plains (GAP) region of Ghana; one of the largest studies of its kind. 79.4% of enumerated water sources wer
