Contaminated water can cause various diseases, including cholera, diarrhea, and typhoid. This is why
it’s crucial to ensure that the water we drink is clean and free from harmful substances. Governments
and organizations around the world are working to provide clean water to those in need. Simple steps
like boiling water, using water filters, and conserving water can help improve the situation.
It’s not just about drinking water; clean water is also needed for cooking, cleaning, and farming.
Without it, our daily lives would be severely impacted. Therefore, it’s important to use water wisely and
