The information used in this study about the association between water pollution and human health has been collected and analysed by carefully looking over multiple published research articles from internationally renowned journals along with related books. Approximately 70% of Earth is covered in water. All people have the fundamental need for good quality drinking water. According to the WHO, 80% of ailments are waterborne. The primary root causes of water contamination include industrial development, radioactive waste release from homes, leaks from water tanks, excessive use of pesticides and fertilisers, and population increase. The health of people is negatively impacted by these substances. Depending on where and what kind of chemical they are, various pollutants have distinct effects. Polluted water is a major source of infections caused by bacteria, virus and parasite diseases such as cholera, and a condition called encephalitis, poliomyelitis, liver infection, dermatitis, and intestinal conditions. To prevent harmful impacts on people's health, it is advised to regularly test the drinking water quality. Waste from homes and farms shouldn't be disposed of before first being treated.
