Improving WASH involves creating barriers to limit the spread of pathogens, especially those contained in human and animal faeces. These barriers include managing faeces with effective sanitation systems (the toilet barrier), improving or protecting water supplies to provide safe drinking water (the safe water barrier), establishing effective hygiene practices such as handwashing (the hygiene barrier) and the effectively treating and managing wastewater (the wastewater barrier).
