Water Borne Diseases Prevention

Cause:
Consuming water that contains pathogenic microorganisms causes water borne
diseases.
The microorganisms present in human or animal waste enter into the human body
and cause waterborne diseases.
Water borne diseases are extremely harmful and lead to severe illness and may
even be fatal.
The most common way by which the spreading of microorganisms takes place is
through drinking contaminated water. However, apart from that, water borne
diseases can be spread through other means such as via clothes, hands, foods,
materials used for cooking, eating, and drinking. Pathological microorganisms can
enter the body through an open wound, eyes, and nose as well.
Typhoid fever, dysentery, diarrhea, cholera, hepatitis, worms, and polio are some
of the widespread water borne diseases.

How Water Borne Disease Transmitted?

Most of the people get infected when the contaminated material enters their
mouth.
