Water can prevent and treat many illnesses

Water is used to reduce fevers and to clean wounds and skin infections.
Drinking a lot of water helps to prevent and treat diarrhea, urinary infections, coughs, and constipation.
Washing hands with soap and water after using the toilet and before eating or handling food also helps prevent many illnesses.

Enough Water is as Important as Safe Water

Many people do not have enough water to meet their daily needs. When there is not enough water to wash, people can get infections such as scabies and trachoma. Not having enough water to drink and wash with can also cause infections of the bladder and kidneys, especially in women.

In hospitals and other health centers, if there is not enough water for washing, infections can spread from person to person. Especially for children, not having enough water can mean dehydration and death.
