COMMON WATERBORNE DISEASES â–ª Cholera â–ª Typhoid fever â–ª Diarrheal diseases e.g. rotavirus among infants â–ª Hepatitis A
SOURCES OF CONTAMINATION â–ª Improper wastes disposal â–ª Lack of water treatment or facilities â–ª Natural disasters e.g. flood â–ª Poor sanitation e.g. open defecation â–ª Lack of protection for water sources
EFFECTS OF CONTAMINATED WATER • Gastrointestinal ailments • Nausea • Skin problems • Birth defects • Stomach ache • Diarrhea • Dehydration (BEdwards, 2016)

PROTECTION OF WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS â–ª Regular maintenance and repair â–ª Controlling access to distribution systems â–ª Protecting against natural disasters e.g. flood â–ª Regular testing and monitoring
TREATMENT OF WATER AT HOUSEHOLD LEVEL â–ª Boiling â–ª Chlorination â–ª Filtration â–ª Constant hand wash practice (Regional water provider, n.d.)
KEY TAKEAWAYS â–ª Lack of sanitation can adversely affect the public health â–ª It can lead to the contamination of water hence reduced water quality â–ª Contamination of water can exacerbated the infection of several waterborne diseases â–ª The best strategy for preventing water contamination is Multiple Barrier Approach (MBA) â–ª MBA aims at preventing contamination of water on three categories namely; source, distribution, and consumption.
