By Dr. BPS Tyagi Safe water is an essential commodity for prevention of most water and food–borne diseases like diarrhea, typhoid and jaundice. These diseases spread rapidly in areas where water is contaminated and hygiene is poor. Access to clean drinking water, proper sanitation, and good hygiene practices are crucial in breaking the cycle of transmission. Boiling water, using water purifiers, and ensuring proper storage can greatly reduce the risk of infections. In developing areas, promoting awareness about water safety and investing in clean water infrastructure can help in significantly reducing the burden of these preventable diseases.
