Photograph the water point and confirm it is operational by test-pumping or test-flowing the point. 3. Verify basic water-quality indicators available on-site (free-chlorine residual test strip or turbidity tube where the project specifies point-of-use treatment) and record the reading. 4.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 30–60 minutes. Method of record: Gold Standard Water Benefit Standard (WBS) — WASH access verification (functionality + safe-use verification for a certified water point/system) feeding Water Benefit Certificate (WBC) issuance.

Bring

• GPS-capable phone or survey-grade GPS
• camera
• free-chlorine residual test strips or turbidity tube
• stopwatch (flow-rate test)
• field checklist/tablet
• maintenance logbook
• PPE (gloves)

Steps

1. 1. Navigate to the registered water point (handpump, tap stand, filtration unit, tank) and confirm GPS matches the project's registered asset ID.
2. 2. Photograph the water point and confirm it is operational by test-pumping or test-flowing the point.
3. 3. Verify basic water-quality indicators available on-site (free-chlorine residual test strip or turbidity tube where the project specifies point-of-use treatment) and record the reading.
4. 4. Observe the responsible user/caretaker's safe-water-chain practices (covered storage, clean collection vessel, handwashing station presence/function).
5. 5. Check the asset's maintenance record/logbook for the period since the last visit; note any repairs or downtime.
6. 6. Count or estimate the households/population currently served per the project's registered service area.
7. 7. Complete the WASH functionality + safe-use checklist per the project's monitoring plan.
8. 8. Enter asset ID, GPS, photos, test readings, checklist, and any flagged deficiency into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Water point non-functional or the point-of-use treatment absent/expired -> flag immediately for repair/resupply before the next scheduled visit; never report a non-functional asset as verified.
• Safe-water-chain practice absent (uncovered storage, contaminated collection vessel) -> flag for community WASH follow-up/training; never adjust the household's practice directly.

What counts as done

• GPS matches the registered water-point asset ID within the posting radius
• Photo confirming the point is operational, with the test-pump/test-flow result documented
• On-site water-quality indicator test performed and recorded where the project specifies point-of-use treatment
• WASH functionality + safe-use checklist completed per the project's monitoring plan

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
