 (Participatory action)

 This source is relevant to my research question because we are able to see in depth what the issues are with certain water impurities. And what future programs are being planned to purify drinking water in third world countries. It will allow us to see what the first steps are in creating better and safer drinking water. Allowing us to check progress and estimate the completion of current water purification projects.

 This research study is relevant to my research question because it takes into the account multiple water sources. The locals acquire their water from water holes, wells, and bought water. Although the water is treated when used for drinking it is not when used for cooking or vegetation. Also the water remains untreated when given to the livestock. This article helped me see that perhaps using untreated water for vegetation practices could be infusing the their food with impurities, as well as the livestock. What I found interesting was that the only treated water was used for drinking. All water used for growing vegetables was untreated, I found that being a health hazard. 3.) Cook, J., P. Kimuyu, and D. Whittington (2016), The costs of coping with poor water supply in rural Kenya, Water Resour. Res., 52, 841–859, doi:10.1002/2015WR017468. (Research) This type of source is relevant because it's giving us specific use of the locals primary water source and where it comes from. Allowing us to investigate these primary water sources and determine their purification levels. In addition it's telling us how frequently these water sources are being used for human consumption. The results will be used to help determine the percent of the population being affected by the water impurities. What I found most interesting was the percent of the population relied on one another. The researchers said nearly 40% of the individuals they studied used their neighbors well water. 4.) Hadley, C., & Wutich, A. (2009).

My initial research question was what are the negative effects of water impurities in third world countries. Changing it to "Water scarcity in third would countries and it's burden put on first time parents". This topic will allow me to investigate more specific problems to water impurities, while still allowing me to investigate water impurities in relation to their chemical balance. This source will be used to help understand the different insecurities locals of third world countries have, when knowing their family will have a shortage of water. It was very interesting to see the woman/mother of the families were more insecure about the scarcity of water even when the father stayed at home to take care of the family. In all cases it was the woman's responsibility to ensure their family received a adequate water supply. 5.) Bennett, R (2013). Household Members’ Migration and theEducation of Children ‘Left Behind’:Empirical Findings from Tajikistan and Reflections for Research Practice. Population space and place Page: 1-14. DOI: 10.1002/psp.1698 (Mixed Methods) This method is relevant to my research question because it allows us to take a look at the different causes that could be contributed to parental discord. This will be used in my literature review because showing how a child living in a third world country will rely solely on its parents to provide for him or her, if not given some sort of education. Thus relying on it's parents to provided clean water and suitable living conditions. It was interesting to read that Tajikistan is one of the most undeveloped countries in the world.
