Answer 1

Hey dear!

IMPROVEMENT IN WATER

Water is essential for life. So people have to consume pure water for keeping their body away from diseases. But unfortunately, water is getting polluted by different ways. In villages, people sit on the bank of rivers for washing their clothes which pollutes the water. They even wash their cattle in the river water, the germs present on the body of the animals get dissolved in water and thus pollute it. Whereas in cities, the sewage from homes and factories are thrown into the water bodies.

If this contaminated water is utilized by people they get several water-born diseases like Diahorrea, Typhoid, Hepatitis etc.

So the water should be purified before supplying to houses by filtering and chlorination. Even as induviduals, we can purify water by boiling it or by using water purifiers.

SANITATION

Cleanliness is one's basic necessity. Cleanliness in the house and surroundings is compulsory for good health.

The local authorities like the Village Panchayats and municipalities have to make arrangements for cleaning roads, dustbins etc. to control the diseases. If not done, people will get affected by diseases such malaria, dengue etc.
