Health and Economic Impacts

More than 3.5 million people die each year from water-related disease; 84percent are children. Nearly all deaths, 98 percent, occur in the developingworld.

Lack of access to clean water and sanitation kills children at a rate equivalent ofa jumbo jet crashing every four hours.

Lack of sanitation is the worlds biggest cause of infection. Millions of women and children spend several hours each day collecting water

from distant, often polluted sources. This is time not spent working at anincome-generating job, caring for family members, or attending school.

443 million school days are lost each year due to water-related illness.

Every 20 seconds, a child dies from a water-related disease.

In the developing world, 24,000 children under the age of five die every day frompreventable causes like diarrhea contracted from unclean water

1.4 million children die as a result of diarrhea each year.

At any given time, half of the worlds hospital beds are occupied by patientssuffering from diseases associated with lack of access to safe drinking water,

Conclusion

It is therefore very important that we all should know themeans and ways to reduce water pollution in our day todaylife. We should restrict harmful chemical and industrialwaste from going into the river and sea by providing propertreatment to them prior to discharge. This will help keepingwaterborne diseases at the minimum.

This will also help aquatic animals and plants to remainhealthy and have least harmful effect on human healthwhen they consume it. It is also important to properlyeducate people for the harmful affects of polluted water sothat they should avoid putting domestic wastes and soapwater into river and ponds.
