Question

Name any three water borne diseases?

Answer 1

Water containing harmful microorganisms like bacteria and viruses cause diseases are as follows:

1. Cholera
2. Diarrhoea
3. Gastroenteritis

• These diseases are called water-borne diseases because they are caused/spread through contaminated water.
• The water we drink must be free from disease causing microorganisms.
• We can boil the water to make it safe to drink because boiling at high temperature kills the germs present in water.
