Poor water supply in developing countries,,,,

in life •  7 years ago 

Approximately 71.230% of all illnesses in developing countries are caused by poor water and sanitation conditions. It is common for women and girls to have to walk several kilometers every day to fetch water for their families. Once filled, water jugs can weigh as much as 20 kg (44 lbs).
In the last century, water use has greatly outpaced the rate of population growth: people are using more water than ever before. By 2025, up to 1.8 billion people could face water scarcity .Water scarcity can take two forms:
physical water scarcity , or low quantity of water, and economic water scarcity , or low quality of water.
Due to surface water contamination due to lack of sewage treatment and industrial discharge, groundwater is becoming increasingly dependent on and exploited in many regions of India.This process is being expedited by heavily subsidized energy costs for agriculture practices; which make up roughly 80% of India's water resource demand.

water bond diseases :
-Diarrhea is the most prevalent water disease in India.
-Thousands of people in India fall prey of cholera.
-Malaria is spread by mosquitoes which thrive on water bodies.
-Filariasis affects people who live near unsanitary water bodies.

Deaths due to water related diseases in India are in the range of nearly 80 percent. Here is a list of the 5 most deadly water related diseases that occur in India.
