Water purification centers: distribution and self-filling of water jugs, knowledge and impact on Public Health
Abstract
Currently, water contaminated, with poor sanitation or inadequately managed exposes the population to health risks, especially in recent years thanks to water purification centers for which society is exposed to greater risks of infection and disease in the absence of water supply services, sanitation and especially hygiene. According to WHO, contaminated water can transmit diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, dysentery, typhoid and polio. It is estimated that the contamination of drinking water causes more than 502,000 deaths due to diarrhea per year. It is important to remember that these diseases are preventable and treatable with adequate sanitation and hygiene around drinking water. Although, we must not forget that in addition to causing death, they cause low levels of life and prevent people from having an active life and access to work.
