Abstract

Globally, the water crisis has become a significant problem that affects developing and industrialized nations. Water shortage can harm public health by increasing the chance of contracting water-borne diseases, dehydration, and malnutrition. This study aims to examine the causes of the water problem and its likely effects on human health. The study scrutinizes the reasons behind the water crisis, including population increase, climate change, and inefficient water management techniques. The results of a lack of water on human health, such as the spread of infectious diseases, a higher risk of starvation and dehydration, and psychological stress, are also concealed in the study. The research further suggests several ways to deal with the water situation and lessen its potential outcomes on human health. These remedies include enhanced sanitation and hygiene procedures, water management, and conservation techniques like rainwater gathering and wastewater recycling.
