Climate Change and the Escalation of Waterborne Diseases
Received Date: Aug 03, 2023 / Published Date: Aug 31, 2023
Abstract
This article explores the intricate relationship between climate change and the heightened prevalence of waterborne diseases. The changing climate, characterized by rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and sea level rise, has significant implications for water quality and availability. These changes create optimal conditions for the proliferation of waterborne pathogens, leading to an increase in the transmission of diseases such as cholera, typhoid fever, and gastroenteritis. Vulnerable communities with limited access to clean water and sanitation are disproportionately affected. This article underscores the urgent need for sustainable strategies that combine enhanced surveillance, improved water management, community education, and global collaboration to address the escalating threat of waterborne diseases in a changing climate.
