Answer 1

Explanation:

Which facility besides safe drinking water is necessary to prevent water-borne diseases?

Ans- Sanitation

Answer 2

The other necessary facility is OPTION a: Sanitation.

• Water-borne infections are those in which harmful germs are transmitted to humans by contaminated water.
• Diarrhea, cholera, dysentery, and other diseases are among them.
• Personal hygiene requires proper sanitation in addition to safe drinking water.
• If sanitary facilities are inadequate and people have to use the open air to relieve themselves, disease-causing microorganisms contaminate water bodies.
• People must therefore employ suitable sanitation facilities and sanitation practices for their own and others' hygiene.
• Hence, sanitation is necessary.
