Contaminated water Pose potential diseases
outbreak in Chennai
Water-borne Diseases Diseases caused by
ingestion of water contaminated by human or
animal excrement, which contain pathogenic
microorganisms. These include viral gastro
enteritis, cholera, typhoid, hepatitis A E and
leptospirosis. Water-washed Diseases Diseases
caused by poor personal hygiene and skin and eye
contact with contaminated water. These include
scabies, trachoma, typhus, and other flea, lice
and tick-borne diseases. Water-based
Diseases Diseases caused by parasites found in
intermediate organisms living in contaminated
water. Includes Schistosomiasis and
Dracunculiasis Water-related (or Vector-borne
Diseases Water-related (or) vector-borne
diseases are caused by insect vectors, especially
mosquitoes, that breed or feed near contaminated
water. They are not typically associated with
lack of access to clean drinking water or
sanitation services. Include dengue, filariasis,
malaria, onchocerciasis, trypanosomiasis and
yellow fever.
60
Mosquito breeding pose potential disease
outbreak in Chennai
  • Anopheles mosquito is a vector of
  • Malaria
  • Culex mosquito is a vector of
  • Filariasis (elephantiasis)
  • West Nile Fever  (viral encephalitis)
  • japanese encephalitis (viral brain fever)
  • Aedes mosquito is a vector of
  • Dengue fever
  • Chikungunya
  • Yellow fever

CHALLENGE Clean and Safe Water is of High Priority
.the number of water-borne, vector-borne,
person-to-person communicable diseases and those
related to the disaster, are those that the state
government, NGOs and volunteers working in the
field need to worry about.
  • CLEAN AND HYGIENIC WATER IS THE NEED OF THE HOUR
  • At present
  • Supply of potable water is insufficient
  • Logistic problem and limitations delay the supply
    of potable water
  • Accumulation of packing materials like PET
    bottles and plastic sachets causes further
    environmental pollution

63
CHALLENGE - WATER
Availability of potable water for cooking,
bathing, washing and drinking
64
Challenges - Water
65
Challenges - Water
Post-disaster consequences
Contamination of existing water resources
Non-availability required volume of clean water
Difficulty in reaching clean water for drinking, cooking, washing, cleaning and sanitation
Chances of added pollution from relief material packages (plastics)
Water-borne diseases (epidemic)
Zoonotic diseases from dead and infected animals
66
Challenges - Water
67
CURRENT CHALLENGE
  • Volunteers stress the need for sustained support
  • Affected residents require relief assistance,
    especially clean water, for more days
  • The need for germ-free water is of prime
    importance to prevent illness
  • Flooded areas pose huge probabilities of public
    health risk

About 2,000 calls were received daily by the
Health Departments toll-free number
68
Immediate Requirement To Resume A Normal
Healthy Life
Safe and clean water at their door step
With no further pollutants during distribution
Supply of reliable, large volume to clean and consume
This is essential to prevent any further calamity
in the form of epidemic diseases
69
Water borne diseases are completely preventable
THINK BEFORE YOU DRINK
70
A Simple Rule of Thumb for preventing water-borne
diseases
WASH YOUR HANDS BOIL THE
WATER COOK THE FOOD
PEEL THE FRUITS
Wash hands with soap and water before handling food
When traveling where sanitation and hygiene are poor, avoid water or food that may be contaminated.
Wash, peel or cook all raw vegetables and fruits before eating.
Do not eat contaminated food
Fail-safe way to get clean and safe water
Chlorinate (disinfect) the potable water before
using it
71
clean and safe water
NEED OF THE HOUR
  • Disinfection is the right choice to
    decontaminate water
  • Individuals, institutions, industries, government
    NGOs can
  • find a solution
  • for this noble cause.
