Detailed Solution

Proper Sanitation, safe drinking water, and avoiding unnecessary storage of water help to prevent the spread of water-borne diseases. Water-borne diseases are diseases caused by contaminated water. Diarrhoea, cholera, typhoid, dysentery, etc., are water-borne diseases. The untreated water from industries, sewage, and polluted water sources causes these diseases. Despite water being a daily necessity, a large population abstains from its access. The water shortage problem is more acute in every household, the reason being that poor households barely earn enough to be able to afford bottled water supplied by private companies, rendering their condition more vulnerable. The government of a particular country is entailed with the responsibility of providing clean and safe drinking water to its citizens; drinking clean and safe water prevents water-related diseases.
