WATER BORNE DISEASES





WHAT IS A WATERBORNE DISEASE?



Waterborne diseases are usually caused when a person drinks, bathes in, washes with or prepares food with water that has been contaminated by bacteria, viruses or parasites, usually from human or animal waste.





Types of waterborne diseases include diarrhea, dysentery and cholera.

Diarrhea, though common and easy to treat in sanitary living conditions, can be deadly without medical care and clean water since the rapid loss of fluids can lead to severe dehydration. Generally, if blood is passed, the illness is not diarrhea but dysentery.


Cholera is a more severe infection. Symptoms include profuse diarrhea and vomiting, sunken eyes, wrinkled hands and the skin turning a bluish-grey hue. Cholera progresses very quickly, within one to five days of infection, and if left untreated, can lead to death.


Water is essential in our everyday lives. Every 90 seconds a child dies from a water related disease. The water crisis is the #1 global risk based on impact to society. Over 90% of water tanks in Ghana are highly contaminated and it is a common source of water borne diseases such as: Cholera, Legionella, Malaria, and other life threatening viruses.


Even as you shower water enters through your pores and harms you as much as drinking water directly. Micro-worms and microorganisms have already invaded your tanks, if you have not cleaned it professionally in the last six months. 780 million lack access to an improved water source.
