Water-Borne Diseases
Travelling from north to south in India, you can easily experience the huge contrast in water availability and scarcity. There are places that have an abundance of water and others where water is the main concerning issue and women's daily job consists of sourcing water for their household. Places with adequate water supplies struggle to sustainably manage the use of it while others struggle with the reality of scarce clean drinking water. Underlying this imbalance in water availability is the issue of water-borne diseases.
- Cholera
- Diarrhoea
- Malaria
- Typhoid
- Filariasis
For more information about the water-borne diseases, you can easily search for the possibilities in the websites available.
The poor water quality and the lack of adequate disposal of human, animal, and household wastes are contributing to waterborne diseases. Just 30% of waste water from India's cities is treated before disposal. The rest flows into rivers, lakes, and groundwater
Our Honorable Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi's Mission 'Jal Shuddhi': 5 crore people to get access.
Drinking Water
The present paper presents an existential analysis of the condition of rural India in reference to water supply and pollution and the resulting health hazard mainly due to high content of chloride, nitrate, sulphate and the hardness. From the view-point of public health, the prevailing sources of water supply i.e. wells, streams and reservoirs, are the subject of contamination as they are exposed to pollution from surface drainage, household and animal refuse, as well as from the unclean buckets used for carrying water. In reference to bacterial checkup of the well water awareness among villagers is necessary, so that the government authorities may provide good quality drinking/potable water through their schemes.
Water Quality
Water quality refers to the chemical, physical, biological, and radiological characteristics of water. It is a measure of the condition of water relative to the requirements of one or more biotic species and or to any human need or purpose. It is most frequently used by reference to a set of standards against which compliance can be assessed. The most common standards used to assess water quality relate to health of ecosystems, safety of human contact, and drinking water.
Groundwater
Groundwater pollution most often results from improper disposal of wastes on land. Major sources include industrial and household chemicals and garbage landfills, excessive fertilizers and pesticides used in agriculture, industrial waste lagoons, tailings and process wastewater from mines, industrial franking, oil field brine pits, leaking underground oil storage tanks and pipelines, sewage sludge and septic systems.
76 Million Don’t Have Safe Drinking Water: India’s Looming Water Crisis
Government records show that in 1980, just 1% of India’s rural areas had access to safe, usable water. By 2013, that had increased to 30%, but the majority of rural India continues to live without proper access to safe drinking water.
A Water Aid report in 2016 ranked India among the worst countries in the world for the number of people without safe water. An estimated 76 million people in India have no access to a safe water supply, and the situation is only getting more serious.
We at ASHA Charitable Trust are inspired by the initiative made by Indian Government. We therefore willing to take the responsibility to distribute the water purifiers in the rural Odisha, in subsidiary rates, to make the people in the rural areas of Odisha have safe drinking water for their families. We want to provide a water purifier at the minimum price possible to the rural areas where the technology of water purification is not affordable to all, at the minimum price.
We are thankful to MCS for the association.
