In addition to reviewing the key modules of the WSP,  we present a detailed step-by-step example of setting up a water quality monitoring programme for the rural water context, and the importance of field testing kits and innovative digital tools to handle the high volume of data generated from WSPs. ### Watch this webinar and discover: - The 11 modules of Water Safety Plans and what they mean - How to incorporate water quality testing into the WSP following the multi-barrier concept - What the potential water contamination hazards are and how to develop and control measures to the risk of each hazard - How to go paperless and improve quality assurance     ![Screenshot 2021-06-14 at 13.18.37](https://datajourney.akvo.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202021-06-14%20at%2013.18.37.png?width=600&height=291&name=Screenshot%202021-06-14%20at%2013.18.37.png "Screenshot 2021-06-14 at 13.18.37") ### Meet the speakers ![Jesee-240](https://datajourney.akvo.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Jesee-240.jpeg?width=240&name=Jesee-240.jpeg) **Jesee W.
