Access to safe drinking water is essential for human health and well-being. Contaminated water can cause a range of illnesses, including diarrhea, cholera, and typhoid fever

Improving access to safe drinking water requires a combination of interventions, including improving water treatment and distribution systems, promoting good hygiene practices, and increasing community awareness about the importance of safe water.

Community-based approaches to promoting safe water can be effective in increasing access to safe drinking water. These approaches involve working with local communities to identify their water needs and develop appropriate solutions, such as household water treatment and storage systems.
