Role of environment sanitation and hygiene:
A direct relationship exists between water, sanitation, health, nutrition and human well being. Consumption of contaminated drinking water, improper disposal of human excreta, lack of personal and food hygiene and improper disposal of solid and liquid waste have been the major causes of diseases in our country. There has been a key focus in various government programmes like the Total Sanitation Campaign to spread the message of maintaining personal hygiene for reducing water pollution. Better linkages between ministries of health and rural development for developing programmes to solve problems of drinking water and health will be useful.
Suggestions:
Awareness: The user should be made aware of the importance of preventing contamination of water and also of the importance of clean and healthy surroundings near water sources. Effective IEC campaigns by civil society will play an important role in spreading awareness. One has to keep in mind that such campaigns should be based on the local needs and problems and use tools that are easily understandable by the people.
Accountability: Accountability: Users should also realise their individual responsibility in maintaining the quality of water supplied to them and also about the sanitation. Cultural and behavioural practices like open defecation, bathing of cattle results in contamination of water sources. The responsibility of maintaining the safety of water provided also rests with
"Water For All" is a mission statement of an MIT project claims that clean water is paramount to a successful society and that there are consequences to inaction toward this problem. The article first provides a description of why water is important and who it affects next, it explains where water is and how it is used and lastly, it analyzes a solution and the consequences if a successful solution is not provided. The author gives data on the people who are affected by the lack of drinkable water in order to convince the reader that this is a large problem. The language in this article is simple yet informative widening the audience to anyone who can help aid the program or anyone who can spread the word about the program.
A problem that affects the daily life of more than a hundred million people is inadequate sanitation and a lack of proper sanitation facilities. For example, only 87% of Indians in urban areas have access to a sanitized latrine, while only 33% of Indians in rural areas have access to a toilet, (The Guardian). This statistic is alarming, as it increases the susceptibility to diseases such as
In order to address the issue of clean water availability, the objectives must address multiple levels of the social-ecological model simultaneously. Three overarching objectives will be addressed. 1) The current public water system must increase in capacity. The current public water system is small and up to 40% of households do not have access to the public water system (2). 2) Due to the rural nature of the population, expansion of the current system should begin

The provision of good quality household drinking water is often regarded as an important means of improving health, according to Sajama et al, 2011. What is more, the supply of clean water is limited by a lack of infrastructure, capacity and financial resources .so the quality of water is becoming a serious public health issue for the past years. The water shortages in Algeria Sahara has become worse because of inefficient management of the piped water distribution
Every human being is entitled to claim their human right and suffice their human needs as a fundamental unit to function in the society. Water is part of that inclusion. However, access to clean water is one of the most violated human right (Barlow, 2010, para. 2). Humanity’s sake should come first before anything else, before any other entity. Everybody was disturbed when the former Chief Executive Officer of Nestlé, Peter Brabeck, deliberately announced in a documentary interview that water resources should be privatized because it is not a public right (Brown, 2016, para.2). Therefore, implying that those who do not have the ability to purchase it are not rightfully qualified to have it. His proclamation raised the attention of the local and foreign perspectives who were concerned and have the principles that water cannot be just own and monopolized by those who can only afford to buy it. Humans have the right to life. Water is a basic human need and one of the main reasons why humans still have a life. Thus, water is a human right and rights are accompanied by its respective obligations to be complied with. Nevertheless, rights cannot just be taken away from humans in general. If corporations would claim that water is not for all humans, they might as well monopolize the air that we breathe.
How can you ensure that vulnerable groups are not discriminated against and are given equal opportunities to clean, safe, easily accessible water?
780 million people worldwide lack access to clean water and annually, 2 to 8 million die from health issues relating to this. (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation, 2013). UNICEF and WHO estimates that the countries shouldering the greatest burden from this are China, India, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Indonesia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Bangladesh, United Republic of Tanzania, Kenya and Pakistan with women and girls disproportionately affected. (UNICEF, 2014)

The are many different factors to examine when thinking about clean water access, such as water access in relation to human rights, where the issue is common, common causes, possibly deadly consequences, and actions taken to help solve some of these issues. Clean water access is a recurring and affects the health, lifestyles, and education of many all around the world. Without clean, stable water sources, humans cannot thrive and grow in brain capacity and strength. 3.4 million people die of clean water issues a year, and avery little amount of people have dedicated their time to solving this issue.
One of the most important natural resources we have on this planet is water. Water covers roughly 70 percent of our planet and is the very foundation for every single species on earth. We as humans, rely on water more than any other resource on the planet and we simply can’t live without it. Although water is abundant around the world, clean water for millions of people is inaccessible. Around the world, there are people struggling to get water yet along clean water and it greatly affects our health. Improving clean water supply and sanitation, and better access to clean water resources, can increase countries’ economic development and can contribute greatly to poverty reduction and overall people’s health.
Few resources are essential to human survival. Access to clean water is the most critical of all. Water is a vital resource responsible for sustaining all life on earth. However, clean water is in short supply, but in high demand in all parts of the world. It is thought that most Americans have access to safe, affordable, clean water right from their taps. However, the media is uncovering the true nature of America’s deteriorating water situation. Americans have reason to be seriously concerned about the state of their drinking water. So what really is on tap in America?
As water supply and sanitation is either non-existent or ineffective in cities and more largely populated areas, it is also struggling in rural areas such as smaller villages. Part of the reason why access to clean, usable water is unavailable is because of
