Nature of WaterComposition of fresh water: 69.56% is frozen,
30.06% is groundwater, and the rest is lakes, soil moisture, water vapour, wetlands, rivers, and etc.
Composition of total water: 97.46% is salt water, 2.522% fresh water frozen or underground, and 0.0103% is fresh water that is not frozen or underground
Total water on earth (1000 km³): 1 385 984 km³
Water covers three quarters of the earth’s surface

Why is water vital to our life?An average person is composed of 55% of waterHuman needs at least two litres of water a day;
without water we would not be able to surviveMost of our food is composed of waterMore than half of the world’s animal and plant
life live in waterWater is necessary for household and industrial
uses, thermal and nuclear power generation, irrigation, and livestock watering

What are the underlying problems concerning water/sanitation?Fresh water is limitedToxic chemicals contaminating water (such
as, arsenic in drinking water)Risks to health and potential diagnosis of
water related diseasesWastewater, greywater, etc is used for
agriculture and aquaculture Radiological hazardsPoor quality of water becomes a threat to
animal and plants

CausesScarcity of good quality waterInfectious agents contaminating waterUnsafe use of recreational waterUnsafe use of wastewater, excreta, and
greywater2.5 billion people lack improved sanitation
facilitiesRadiological hazards due to radionuclide that
occur in water

FactsApproximately 1 billion people of the world’s
population are denied access to clean water and 2.5 billion people lack access to improved sanitation facilities
Countries with most renewable fresh water: 1. Brazil 2. Russia 3.Canada
Almost 9% of Canada’stotal area is covered withfreshwater

Emerging Issue LegionellosisDefinition: collection of infections caused by
legionella pneumophila and related bacteriaWater is legionella’s most natural reservoirCommonly found in water systems of hotels,
homes, ships; cooling towers; respiratory therapy equipments; and spa pools
Usually caused by warm temperaturesMay cause a mild febrile illness to a fatal
pneumonia

How to prevent the matterConsidering regulatory aspects of managing
legionella in water systems and limiting exposure to such infections
Identifying source of the diseases Raising awareness to the public and prevent
recurrence of the diseaseEnforcing regulations to deal with outbreaks
of legionella related infections

Preventive Management ApproachesMonitoring the quality of waterTo build more improved sanitation facilitiesTo teach developing countries about hygieneTo enforce more strict laws and policiesPreserve fresh waterControl of safe recreational waterPreventing unsafe use of wastewater,
excreta, etc
