Wastewater

In houses, we use water in kitchens and toilets. After we use, the wastewater goes into sewer systems. In the sewer systems, it to decrease dirties by refine system. But some developing countries, not enough sewer and filter systems. For these reason, wastewater to pour in sea, river or lake.

Oil dirties: Oil ship to make accident at sea, thousands of oil to spilling at the sea. Last 34 years, six accidents at sea in the Bosphorus. This reasons, seabirds, fish and sea plants died.

Agricultural

Manure and medicine of agricultural is using in the agricultural. This is waste directly underground and join to water groups. Erosion to reduce land in the world.

Some examples in the world:

Water, sanitation and health…

Water is one of earth’s most precious and threatened resources.

Health is one of each person’s most precious resources.

We need to protect and enhance them both.

Water for Health.

Some 1.1 billion people – one sixth of the world’s population- don’t have access to safe water, almost 2.5 billion lack basic sanitation. Children who live in unsanitary conditions or drink dirty water are sick more often and more seriously, many die before the age of five from water and sanitation-related diseases, include diarrhea, cholera and malaria.

Diarrhea diseases are most serious of these diseases, alone killing 1.8 million children every year. Children in developing countries typically have four mush more of diarrhea a year.

Safe storage and use of water at home is an important practice to help cut the spread of bacteria and related diseases.

Using water filtered at home with a common ladle prevents the spread of bacteria and disease.

They also are the water managers of the future… the World Water Day, 22 March of each year.

"Sanitation is more important than independence." 
Gandhi (President of India)
