Daley, K., Castleden, H., Jamieson, R., Furgal, C., & Ell, L.

Description

In this qualitative study, the authors aim to identify and understand residents' perceptions of how the current water and wastewater systems function in a remote Arctic Indigenous community, as well as identify potential future water-related health risks. The study highlights the importance of including social, cultural, and economic variables in decision-making about water and wastewater system design, particularly in remote and economically challenged communities.
