Health Problems Comes From Unsafe Water?
No one can live without water. To be healthy,
people need enough water and they need the water to be safe. Water is not safe
when germs and worms from get into it. The germs and worms can be passed
through the water or from one person to another, causing many serious health
problems and affecting a whole community. Chemicals from agriculture, industry,
and mining, and trash dumping can also make our water unsafe and cause
illnesses such as skin rashes, cancers, and other serious health problems. Not
having enough water for drinking, cooking, and washing can lead to sickness.
Especially when there is no way to wash hands after using the toilet, diarrhea
diseases spread quickly from person to person. A shortage of water for personal
cleanliness can also lead to infections of the eyes and skin. Lack of water can
cause dehydration (losing too much water in the body) and death.
Not having enough water may be due to drought (dry
weather for a long time), the high cost of water, or because water has not been
well conserved. Contamination of water can make the effects of water scarcity
worse, and likewise, water scarcity can make contamination more serious.
