I am particularly hooked on this idea.Distributing free low concentrated sugar free tea :-)
I remember a case study i read some years ago about the difference in drinking culture between india and china.The Chinese factory workers often have a 24 hour boiling pot of low concentrated green tea parked where they constantly consume small portions of during their day.AFI remember around 70% of water intake for them was via this medium.
That could be an out of the box solution.:-)
Shitting in the river will make you sick, but it's also the low-class thing to do, it's unfashionable, it's unattractive to the opposite sex, it makes you look foolish. Toilets are respectable, they're modern, they're stylish, they're a status symbol. You don't have to invoke superstition to create a taboo.
If you want people to boil their water, just provide subsidised tea and let the addictive properties of caffeine do the work for you.
