Our Water Borne Diseases: What we should do

Go to your local doctor and observe patients who come for treatment for ten days. Seek information about the diseases they are suffering from and find out the causes for these diseases. Find out from the doctors in your area about the diseases that are attacking the people. Ask the doctor about diseases caused by water during the summer season and rainy season in grama sabhas and meetings. Explain to the people in your locality on how water is getting polluted in your area, and what are its consequences. Explain to the people through meetings and seminars about the chemical fertilisers and pesticides that are reaching rivers due to heavy rains contaminating the river water. This issue can also be discussed with reporters for a wide publicity.
