                                       ALL WATER SAMPLES FAIL
Samples of drinking water drawn from the municipal limits of the district were found to be
contaminated. The samples collected by the district health authorities from the municipal
councils and the public health water resources of these towns were found to contain
unacceptable levels of bacteria and were unfit for human consumption. The district civil
surgeon admitted that the bacteria in water might be the source of various diseases including
diarrhea, cholera, hepatitis and typhoid. The contaminated water is more harmful for visitors
than the locals.

Dear student,

Here are a few points for your reference:

- Slum areas with no proper toilet facilities
- Fatal diseases like typhoid, diarrhoea, malaria and dengue
- Neglect of municipality to clear the garbage everyday
- Usage of plastic to be made nil in every state
- Initiative to dump industrial garbage elsewhere rather than rivers
- Drainage should be checked to avoid overflow of septic tanks during monsoon
- Oil, chemicals, etc. should never be released in river as they make water unsuitable for consumption.
