| What is measured by total bacterial count in water samples? | the enumeration of the microorganisms like bacteria, yeast, mold present in the sample tested | Sulphate content in water below 200 mg/l is considered potable. The sulphate tested in drinking water of the study area ranges from 1.4 to 2.3 mg/l with an average of 1.5 mg/l. Reactive Silica: The "Total Silica" content of water is composed of "Reactive Silica" and "Unreactive Silica". Reactive silica (e.g. silicates SiO4) is dissolved silica that is slightly ionized and has not been polymerized into a long chain. The desirable limits for reactive silica in water are not specified in India. Reactive silica in the drinking water varies from 18 mg/l to 22 mg/l. The average concentration of reactive silica in drinking water is 20.0 mg/l. Total Bacterial Count: Total bacterial count is the enumeration of the microorganisms like bacteria, yeast, mold present in the sample tested, which includes all types of microbes including non-pathogenic and pathogenic (disease causing). | 692 | definition | 1.000 | Total Bacterial Count: Total bacterial count is the enumeration of the microorganisms like bacteria, yeast, mold present in the sample tested, which includes all types of microbes including non-pathogenic and pathogenic (disease causing). | 33 | page=33,block=0 | 0.700 | valid |
| What does the reported morbidity of households represent? | the health condition of the slum households in the past one year | Reported morbidity of households reflects the health condition of the slum households in the past one year. Health, in our survey includes health problem of any household member, as reported by our respondent. We asked the respondent, whether any of the household members suffered from listed health problems in the past one year. | 42 | definition | 1.000 | Reported morbidity of households reflects the health condition of the slum households in the past one year. | 36 | page=36,block=9 | 0.700 | valid |

| What does a larger font size represent in the word frequency analysis? | the issues which are repetitively highlighted by the slum dwellers | Qualitative insights were collected through field visit; walk through observation and key informant interviews. The collected qualitative data were imported to the NVivo environ to analyse the frequency of words. The following figure (Figure 12) depicts the word frequency of the qualitative data. The font size of the word in the figure is proportional to their frequency i.e., the words such as slums, water, households, toilets, observed, Mumbai, located etc., have different font size due to the frequency of those words in the qualitative study. Bigger font indicates the issues which are repetitively highlighted by the slum dwellers during our qualitative study. | 573 | definition | 1.000 | Bigger font indicates the issues which are repetitively highlighted by the slum dwellers during our qualitative study. | 39 | page=39,block=1 | 0.700 | valid |
| What is considered essential for the existence of life? | Adequate and safe supply of drinking water | Adequate and safe supply of drinking water is recognized as essential for life existence. Almost all the households in the slums rely on municipal water for drinking as well as for other purposes. Slums that are located on the hills face problem of water as they don’t have access to piped water. Lack of pipe water supply and stringent timings of water supplied by the municipal corporation to each of the households is the major problem reported by the slum dwellers during our qualitative study. The bundle of pipes along the lanes can be seen commonly in front of the roads and in front of each household. Slum dwellers use this bunch of pipes for walking in the congested lanes. In certain slums we observed that the BMC has placed the water pipe on the open drainage and people use hose pipe to fetch water for their household needs. | 0 | definition | 1.000 | Adequate and safe supply of drinking water is recognized as essential for life existence. | 45 | page=45,block=9 | 0.700 | valid |
| What is the function of the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority? | providing affordable housing and urban development | The shemes such as Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY), Rajiv Rinn Yojana (RRY), Basic Services to Urban Poor (BSUP), Affordable housing in partnership (AHP), slum rehabilitation scheme, Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA), Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), Smart Cities Mission, Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) and the recently launched Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) initiated or adopted by the Government have a wider scope in providing affordable housing and urban development. Though the Redevelopment and rehabilitation schemes initiated has a positive approach in transforming the life of the urban slum dwellers. slum dwellers feel reluctant about the rehabilitation schemes due to the presence of a third party as they do not disseminate right information. | 499 | definition | 1.000 | The shemes such as Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY), Rajiv Rinn Yojana (RRY), Basic Services to Urban Poor (BSUP), Affordable housing in partnership (AHP), slum rehabilitation scheme, Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA), Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), Smart Cities Mission, Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) and the recently launched Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) initiated or adopted by the Government have a wider scope in providing affordable housing and urban development. | ||||
| What is the role of clean-up marshals in the city? | fine people for spitting and littering in public | Despite another solid waste management scheme — clean-up marshals — failing to make a visible impact in the city, the civic body is in the process of re-introducing these ‘marshals’ who can fine people for spitting and littering in public. “What we need is a permanent mechanism to not only segregate the waste in our homes (at source) and give incentives to such buildings, but also have permanent employees to enforce penalties on those who litter. The Sena-BJP in all these years has not come up with a policy to address industrial waste from the large informal sector that operates in the city. To make matters worse, there is a bankruptcy of ideas and institutionalisation of solid waste management — the previous AMC was interested in de-centralised waste management and the current one is interested in dumping grounds,” said Rais Shaikh, Samajwadi Party corporator. | 190 | definition | 1.000 | Despite another solid waste management scheme — clean-up marshals — failing to make a visible impact in the city, the civic body is in the process of re-introducing these ‘marshals’ who can fine people for spitting and littering in public. | 73 | page=73,block=8 | ||
