Man's efforts to improve the environment in which he lives and improve his quality of life therefore depend on the availability of water, there is a close correlation between the fundamental quality of water and public health, including the ability to access water. water and the level of hygiene, and water between abundance and economic and tourist growth. Measures to expand and improve public drinking water supply systems, helping to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with enteric diseases, because these diseases are directly or indirectly associated with the provision of lower quality water or poor water supply. Currently, 1,400 million people do not have access to drinking water and almost 4,000 billion do not have adequate sanitation. According to estimates by the World Health Organization (WHO), 80% of diseases are transmitted through contaminated water. This is because only a small part of the population, especially in developing countries, has access to water of acceptable quality. It is estimated that in some countries only 20% of the rural population has water of satisfactory quality. Based on these statistics, the urgent need for awareness raising on water use is evident. Almost without realizing it, we are seriously jeopardizing this essential resource, not for us but for our children's children and their generations, aware that in other parts of the......middle of paper...... managing the scarcity of that resource. In some cases up to 50% of water in urban areas and 60% of water used for agriculture is wasted through evaporation and leakage. Deforestation and land conversion to meet human needs have reduced half the world's forests, which has increased soil erosion and water scarcity. Between 300 and 400 million people worldwide live in and depend on wetland areas. Wetlands are extremely efficient wastewater treatment mechanisms because they absorb chemicals and filter pollutants and sediment. Half of the world's wetlands have disappeared due to urbanization and industrial development. The only way to achieve sustainable development and poverty reduction will be through better management of rivers and wetlands and the lands drained by them, as well as through increased investment in them..
