water sanitation

Water sanitation refers to the processes and practices that ensure water is clean and safe for drinking, cooking, and personal hygiene. It involves removing contaminants and pathogens from water sources, such as rivers and lakes, and managing wastewater effectively. Proper water sanitation helps prevent waterborne diseases, protects public health, and promotes overall community well-being. Key components include access to clean water, sewage treatment, and hygiene education. Ensuring good water sanitation is essential for sustainable development and improving quality of life, especially in areas where water quality and sanitation facilities are inadequate.
