It’s World Plumbing Day soon, so celebrate by becoming educated about water-related diseases.
Plenty of communities all over South Africa still rely on untreated water for their daily supply, and often, they have very limited access to adequate sanitation facilities. As a result, these communities are threatened by waterborne and water-washed diseases every day. While access to clean drinking water, proper personal hygiene and adequate sanitation infrastructure are the best ways to prevent these diseases, there are other ways to avoid them.
