How important is drinking water to health?

Questions answers

Q: How important is drinking water to health?

A: Drinking water supply, basic sanitation and good water resource management are essential to ensure health. Nearly one-tenth of the disease burden could be avoided:

improving access to drinking water;

improving hygiene and sanitation;

improving water management to reduce the risk of water-borne infectious diseases and the risk of drowning during recreational activities.

Every year, good water management would prevent:

1.4 million child deaths from diarrhea;

500 000 deaths from malaria;

860,000 child deaths from malnutrition; and

280,000 drowning deaths.

In addition, 5 million people could be protected from severe disability due to lymphatic filariasis and another 5 million from trachoma.

Recommended measures

Efforts to improve water, sanitation and hygiene improve overall health. Access to sanitation - for example, simple latrines in communities - helps prevent faecal contamination of the water and reduce the number of infections. The most technologically advanced solutions are not necessarily the best: the simple fact of washing your hands often with soap and the proper storage of drinking water have considerable effects.

Environmental management can reduce the incidence of malaria and other insect-borne diseases and prevent deaths. These include eliminating breeding sites - for example stagnant water - and protecting against mosquitoes by providing mosquito nets with doors and windows.

Economic benefits

From an economic point of view, investments in drinking water, sanitation, hygiene and water resources management are perfectly cost-effective, with the benefits of up to 8 times the amount of the financial effort. For example, the $ 11.3 billion annual investment required to meet the Millennium Development Goals targets for water and sanitation could yield $ 84 billion in benefits annually.

In addition to saving lives, other benefits would include improved productivity, educational progress and savings in health care.
