1. To prevent water-borne diseases, use of safe, clean and potable water is a must. Water should be filtered, then boiled and stored in covered container. If possible water purifier systems should be installed at home.
2. One should preferably use bottled water or carry our own water container while travelling.
3. Cleaning of water containers and maintaining personal hygiene near water storage is a must.
4. Megacities offer chlorinated and purified water for citizens. But villages and smaller rural set ups use river water which may be highly contaminated with pathogens. Such water should be purified before consumption to prevent water-borne diseases.
