    for about 20% of fresh
    water available

    From the diagrams I can see that our


    population is growing and therefore our
    demand for water is increasing. Water supply
    is decreasing leaving us with a water deficit.
    Precipitation eventually makes its way underground and is stored in
    underground lakes and pore spaces within rocks. If we dig a well water from the
    surrounding rock seeps into the well

    Kwashiorkor Diarrhoea
    Bilharzia

    Approximately 3 to 8 weeks after


    infection, the person may experience:

    Fatigue.
    Fever and chills.
    Cough.
    Muscle aches.
    Weight loss.
    Enlargement of the liver and

    Kwashiorkor

    Kwashiorkor, is a nutritional disorder due


    to a lack of protein, most often seen in
    regions experiencing famine. People
    typically have an extremely emaciated
    appearance in all body parts except their
    ankles, feet, and belly, which swell with
    fluid.
    Cholera

    Cholera is an infectious disease


    that causes severe watery
    diarrhea, which can lead to
    dehydration and even death if
    untreated. It is caused by eating
    food or drinking water
    contaminated with a bacterium
    called Vibrio cholerae
    Diarrhea

    Most cases of diarrhea are caused by an


    infection in the gastrointestinal tract caused by:
    bacteria
    viruses
    parasitic organisms

    Globally, an estimated 2 billion cases of


    diarrheal disease occur each year, and 1.9
    million children under the age of 5 years, mostly
    in developing countries, die from diarrhea.
    ADD these impacts to the table - Impacts for all these water born diseases are:

    People taking up hospital beds. Hospitals could be treating someone else and
    this is also expensive.
    People cannot work due to fever and fatigue. This means the family has less
    money for food, education etc.
    If people are out of work the economy also suffers
