Water Supply and Sanitation

Water supply and sanitation refer to the systems that provide clean water for drinking, cooking, and bathing, and manage waste to protect health and the environment. Water supply involves sourcing, treating, and delivering safe water to homes and communities. Sanitation includes the collection, treatment, and disposal of human waste through toilets, sewage, and waste management systems. Together, they are essential for health, hygiene, and well-being, reducing the spread of waterborne diseases and supporting overall public and environmental health. Access to reliable water and sanitation services is a fundamental component of sustainable development.
