  1. Section 9 Water-Related Diseases

  2. Unable to Discover Water Infectivity Source. More than 200 people are reportedly suffering from water-borne illnesses thus far, showing symptoms such as vomiting, dysentery and dehydration. Bangalore 01/30/2008 http://www.topnews.in/health/regions/bangalore

  3. 74. More than 2 million people die each year from diseases such as cholera,typhoid, and dysentery that are spread by contaminated water or by a lack of water for hygiene. These illnesses have largely been eradicated in developed nations, although outbreaks can still occur. In 1993 an infestation of cryptosporidium, a protozoan that causes gastrointestinal illness, killed 110 people and sickened an estimated 400,000 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The city's water treatment system was in compliance with federal and state regulations at the time, but after the outbreak federal regulators increased testing requirements for turbidity (cloudiness) in drinking water, an indicator of possible contamination.

  11. Conventional large-scale engineering projects that pipewater from central distribution systems can provide safe water at a cost of approximately $500 per person. Small-scale approaches, such as drilling wells and chlorination, can reduce this cost to less than $50. http://www.destructoid.com/there-is-a-well-in-africa-named-destructoid-thanks-to-you-192869.phtml https://www.dropinthebucket.org/apach-sda/img_4296/

  12. 77. A 2003 World Health Organization report on water-related infectious diseases warned that "the spectrum of disease is altering and the incidence of many water-related microbial diseases is increasing." Processes such as urbanization and dam construction can spread water-related diseases by creating new environments for infectious agents, and global climate change is expanding the range of mosquitoes and other disease vectors. http://www.rtcc.org/2013/07/04/africas-tiny-sand-dams-can-save-millions-from-drought/
