Abstract

Off-grid communities in Tanzania face unique challenges related to water supply and sanitation systems. Time-series forecasting models were employed to analyse clinical data from multiple communities. Robust standard errors were used for inference. A significant reduction in waterborne diseases was observed with a $\beta = -0.85 \pm 0.12$ (95% CI: [-1.1, -0.6]) over the study period. The time-series models effectively forecasted clinical outcomes, supporting evidence for improved water supply systems in off-grid communities. Further longitudinal studies should validate these findings and explore broader impacts of community water systems on health outcomes.
