Estimated Disability-Adjusted Life Years attributable to water, sanitation and hygiene in 2004

This layer represents the number of Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) due to WASH. One DALY can be thought of as one lost year of "healthy" life. The sum of DALYs across a population help to quantify the burden of disease, and to evaluate the gap between current health status and an ideal health situation. This layer also provides DALYs for each WASH-related disease. For more information about the DALY metrics, visit: http://www.who.int/healthinfo/global_burden_disease/metrics_daly/en/# For more information, visit WHO website to access the report (http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/10665/43840/1/9789241596435_eng.pdf) and to access the raw data (http://www.who.int/quantifying_ehimpacts/publications/saferwater/en).
