WATER SHORTAGE IN INDIA AND DISEASES CAUSED

Water scarcity in India is widespread in all states.
Even in states like Karnataka where we are proud to say
that infrastructure is the best, there is water shortage
affecting the school children also. Around 65% of primary
schools lack basic drinking water facilities. The toilets
are found in neglected condition in 75% of the schools.
Though Rs350cr have been allotted for the improvement, lack
of good implementation programs in a scheduled manner has
not given good results. Meals are provided to several lakhs
of children but due to lack of tap water supply, they are
not up to the mark.

As the water drawn from the well, rivers,
and ponds are not adequately hygienic, water borne diseases
like Hepatitis B have sprung up. Rotary club and Lions
club have come forward to arrange camps in various parts of
India to combat this. At free of cost they give medicines,
injection and medical advice in places like Neyveli
Township.

The common attacks due to the ill conditioned
water in India are Hepatitis A, B, C and E viruses. Around
3% in India fall a prey to Hepatitis B. Around 2% are
affected by Hepatitis C virus which attacks the bones. From
these persons it is spread to various regions monstrously
in India says the experts. A common man in India cannot
bear the expenses for Hepatitis C treatment. So the
philanthropists and service minded organizations like Lions
club, Rotary club render their helping hands throughout
India.
Since proper treatment is not given to water before it
enters the kitchen, hotels, hospitals and schools, many in
Chennai are affected due to Hepatitis E, treacherous water
borne virus. In some schools like Christian college school
in Chetput, Chennai, they conduct visual education classes
to teach the various ways in which water gets contaminated.

In Tamil nadu, an area called Nellikuppum,
sugarcane is grown in abundance and a, sugar factory
engages many thousands round the clock. In this area more
than 50 were recently attacked due to impure water
resulting in

Water gets contaminated. In Tamil nadu in a place called
Nellikuppam sugar cane is grown abundantly and a huge sugar
factory is also located. In this more than 50 were reported
attacked by dysentery, vomiting etc. They suspected it to
aftermaths of Tsunami and contamination of ground water.
Though the health authorities assured the public that all
care were taken to monitor the water contamination, the
agitation shot up as more and more were admitted in
government health centers and hospitals. The people
suspected that municipal authorities have failed to clear
the garbage, human and animal wastes in many areas of
Cuddalore which had caused this calamity. More than 3
persons died due to acute cholera type of amoebasis.

To fight all waterborne diseases in Tamilnadu,
20 panchayat unions have conducted medical camps in
Tiruvannamalai district. ECG, blood, urine, were conducted
for one and all. Immediate actions were taken to curb any
virus attacks.

The statistics also says that 609500 children die from
poor hygiene in India which is the highest in the world.
This poor hygiene emanates TB, cholera, filaria, cancer
etc. in India.

In Kerala a few medical practitioners and
patients are reported dead due to virus in water. The
National Virology Institute, Pune had taken steps to
analyze the situation. The incidence had also disturbed the
political leaders in Trissur, Alapuzha and Kasaragod where
pollution had taken place. Hepatitis A was found and spread
heavily in Trissur district. A woman was also reported dead
due to attack of jaundice. Kerala is famous for ayurveda
treatment. Kottakal Ayurveda Salai has branches all over
India. They have very effecctive medicines for all water
borne diseases. They have no side effects and many VIPs
including the former Prime Minister prefer this simple
treatment given in Kerala.

In most the cases, ground water is found
over drawn by industries manufacturing artificial drinks
like Kali cola, Fruitnik, Frooti, Goldspot etc. The govt.
has issued several notices to such companies, but still
they continue doing it to spoil the water beds. So the
govt. has introduced a device which will stop the flow of
water pumped out by electric motors in rural areas.

Works on infiltration wells in Palar River
has helped the people in Vellore, Tamil Nadu to get
additional supply of drinking water. Along with various
states, Chennai city is drastically affected by good water
supply. The reservoirs built long back are unable to meet
the demands of rising population. The residents mainly
depend upon water tankers which supply 4000 trips/day. The
reservoir level is very low to meet the demands of 60 lakhs
in Chennai. Only selected areas get alternate day supply of
water around 600 million liters. This water will be yellow
in color and sometimes brown fully revealing the
contamination in it. Hence all 60 lakhs residents go after
mineral water only. This is a zooming industry due to water
scarcity everywhere.
