Water Borne Diseases

Water-borne diseases are the ones caused by pathogenic microbes spread via contaminated water. Each year, waterborne diseases afflict hundreds of millions of people, primarily those living without safe, accessible water in developing countries. Of the seven most common waterborne diseases in the world, diarrhea is the central symptom. The latest research shows that diarrhea is the second leading cause of death for children under the age of five, causing more childhood deaths than malaria, AIDS, and measles combined. 7 Most Common Waterborne Diseases are Typhoid Fever, Cholera, Giardia, Dysentery, Escherichia Coli, Hepatitis A, Salmonella etc. Climate change is likely to increase diarrheal disease incidence worldwide, and extreme weather conditions may also complicate already-inadequate prevention efforts. Around 844 million people lack even a basic drinking-water service. In fact, approximately 159 million individuals are dependent on surface water, the World Health Organization (WHO) reports.
