Water and sanitation crisis

Rural and urban areas are affected by water shortage, and both water scarcity and water quality is an issue. The gross inequalities in Bangladesh for a reliable water supply coverage across the country were still appreciable progress. Very poor, rural areas can only use an average of 16%. Diarrheal diseases are a major health problem in Bangladesh, every year more than 100,000 children were killed. Thousands of children and adults with diarrhea episodes occur every day. Diarrheal diseases, malnutrition, poor maternal health, high fertility, and biological and socio-economic relations in the survival of children with problems.
In the 1970s, Wales, about four million to replace conventional sources of contaminated water surface have been drilled. Major projects under way, and mortality due to water-borne diseases has fallen. In 1993, however, high concentrations of arsenic in groundwater in Bangladesh and Wales have been discovered. Long-term high a specific health problem, a number of diseases of the skin concentrations of arsenic in drinking water intake. In cancers of internal organs has been associated with drinking water arsenic.
However, the arsenic crisis on a personal level, the more severe effects can be seen at the local level. Was affected in Bangladesh, arsenic many interventions as possible, especially in Wales, diarrheal diseases increase, excluding the direct, negative. For a better painted red, the water arsenic concentrations above the national norm, and community members are trying to use it.of Wales, which does not contain arsenic are not required to walk. Chronic arsenic exposure reduction, intense exercise such as the effects of bacterial contamination of water-borne diseases dramatically increase the risk of leading to the outbreak. The disease mainly affects children who are vulnerable to diarrheal diseases. This pin has an impact on infant mortality in this dilemma
